I have been meaning to a picture of a boat whilst walking along the Trent at Attenborough.

Looks as though it was diagonal planked?

there is a strong possibility this Launch may be an ex-RAF Rescue Launch. These types of launches were all diagonally planked. Some of them were triple planked in various stress areas. Have a look at this link and see what you think.

Such a crying shame to see it in that condition. Couldn’t you have a blast in it if it was completely restored? Mind you a spare small fortune would be required so it would be quite an expensive blast!
