Help Us Save This Classic Design Yacht

Freda’s owners have tasked us with helping them find a home for this classic design Lancashire Nobby Replica. She’s a GRP replica of a Morecambe Prawner, built in 1989 for the Boat show.
The boat is in the water in Gosport and can be viewed at your request. She’s been owned by the guy who had her built ever since and even had a brand new Beta engine in 2020. As you can see from the video she needs a little bit of work but nothing that would stop you enjoying her straight away. Boatbreakers always have the odd gem of a boat that we don’t want to scrap.

Luke completed a journalism degree in Brighton University and fortunately for us uses this in his communications, Facebook posts, Tweets and emails to tell all our enquirers and followers what we are up to. Without Luke we would be lost, he runs the office, keeps us organised and is like a terrier and never lets a tricky boat disposal job go un-photographed or Tweeted about.
He also manages all of our enquiries passing them to whoever in the team is the best suited to deal with it. We are teaching Luke how to drive a motorboat or sail a yacht so while he’s learning we suggest you keep out of the Solent!
When he’s not at work he’s a massive football fan (his Dad used to play for Portsmouth FC years ago) and seems to know everything there is to know about any player, anywhere. Next time you ring and he answers, think of a tricky football trivia question and ask him
