Lady Grace is a 21ft Matlow, we believe she was built in the 1960's, although she looks brand new.
The first two and a half months of 2020 Lady Grace saw a major rebuild. Lady Grace was stripped back to the bare hull; seats, decks, engine box and bearers, lockers and all rotten stringers and bearers were removed. She was an empty shell ready to rebuild upon.
With new stringers and bearers fibre-glassed in, new steel engine bearers fitted, nidaplast decks were fibre-glassed down. New moulded seating, lockers, engine box and console were made and fitted. The two-year old Beta 28hp engine had an overhaul before being craned in. New steering, throttle controls and cables, new bilge pumps, seacocks, all new electrics and a full rewire was completed. The hull was sandblasted back to the original gelcoat and coppercoat was applied to help stop the growth of weed on the bottom. A smart lick of Epiphanes Yacht Gloss paint, fitting of all the fenders and she is good to go!
Sadly 3 days after her launch the country was hit with the news of lockdown due to Covid-19 so she spent her first few months as a 'new woman' seeing no action on her decks, but we are making up for lost time now.
