CLASSIC WOODEN LAUNCH – TANTALUS – A Peek Down Below
THE 36’ Classic Wooden Launch- TANTALUS made a cameo appearance on WW back in late Dec 2021. The top photo above I took then, now today thanks to a recent tme appearance and Ian McDonald’s hawk eyes, we get to have a gander down below.
What we know about her is that she was designed by Tim Windsor and built c.1963 by Tim Wilson and Jack Taylor at the Shipbuilders yard. Construction is kauri plank, her beam is 9’ and she draws 3’3”.
These days her forward motion is from a Ford 120hp diesel engine.
Anyone able to tell us more about her past.
