b'SY Nahlin Owners launchLOA 30ft.Beam 6ft 10ins.Draft 2ft 4ins.Designed by Andrew Wolstenholme.Built in 2009 by Henwood & Dean Boatbuilders. Stripped plank, epoxy bonded planking overlain with Mahogany carvel planking. Mahogany cabin, decks and fit-out. The original owners launch had not survived but photographic evidence showed a 30ft hull with a cabin or cuddy with a rounded front to protect the guests and an open forward crew cockpit. The brief for the new launch required a good turn of speed and considerable luxury for the guests. Once again my partnership with Andrew Wolstenholme came up with a design that echoed the 1930 launch but provided a fast displacement hull capable of nearly 20 knots. The challenge of building the cabin with its curved joinery in Mahogany fell to Joe Miller. This type of work demands an accuracy and attention to detail that few can match and the quality that Joe achieved for this project was exceptional.Although this is a new boat built using some modern wood hull construction techniques - there is air conditioning, the latest communication and positioning equipment, and a powerful lightweight diesel installationthe launch fits the genuine 1930 quality and detail of the mother ship. The modern equipment is hidden or disguised and the cabin and cockpit fit-out is built as Robertsons Boatbuilders would have done 80 years ago.63'
