Details

"Farewell" is a beautiful and original example of these most typical of Thames launches.  Built in 1959 and exhibited at the Earls Court London Boat Show of that year, "Farewell" has remained in the same family ownership since new.

This launch has recently undergone restoration works at Peter Freebody & Co. Her seating comprises of bench seat aft and traditional Lloyd Loom chairs at helm with classic dark blue upholstery.  She also benefits from drop down varnished drinks tables, cocktail cabinets which provide additional seating to port and starboard in the cockpit, and storage compartment beneath forward deck.

She is fitted with a convertible canopy which covers the entire cockpit area, and a new overall cover in dark blue acrylic canvas supported on three stainless steel hoops.
