CLASSIC WOODEN LAUNCH – LADY ADELAIDE OUT FOR SOME TLC
I Have been spending too much time at the Sandspit marina – as an example 4 trips in the last 10 days………
One of the upsides is bumping into a few woodys that I have not caught up with in a few years.
Last week I snapped some photos of the 1922 Dick Lang built 36’ launch – LADY ADELAIDE. Then yesterday there she is hauled out for some TLC. Back in November 2021 when she was for sale we ran a ‘peek down below story’ on her, link below, and now get to see her out of the water.
LADY ADELAIDE is one of those classic wooden craft that just looks right from any angle. When done to her owner on the condition she presents in and the ongoing ‘investment’ in systems and salty look.

I remember her so very well when owned by Commander C.H.T. Palmer, (Charlie Palmer), in the mid & later 1940s, & was kept by him, adjacent to the then A.M.Y.C. at Westhaven, & I thought she looked pretty smart at that time, but that was absolutely nothing, compared to how stunning she looks, as at today. — BEAUTIFUL!!! — KEN R
