1923 J. W Brooke & Co. Gentleman’s Launch

NANCY 1923 J.W. Brooke & Co. Gentleman’s Launch Lowestoft, England “Some boats are owned - Very few become part of a family’s history.” Built in 1923 by the renowned J.W. Brooke & Co. of Lowestoft, Nancy is an exceptionally rare gentleman’s launch that has graced the waters around Cork Harbour for generations. Elegantly proportioned with her long varnished foredeck, sweeping sheerline and beautifully balanced hull, Nancy represents an era when motor launches were elegantly handcrafted for quiet cruising rather than speed. Following an extensive professional restoration completed in 2018, she combines authentic 1920s craftsmanship with dependable modern engineering. A new turbocharged Nanni diesel engine provides reliable and economical cruising while preserving the character of this remarkable vessel. Few boats possess such provenance, fewer still have remained associated with one family and one harbour for so many decades. Whether cruising Cork Harbour, Windermere, the Norfolk Broads or the lakes of northern Italy, Nancy attracts admiration wherever she goes. Specification * Builder: J.W.
