WOODEN LAUNCH – LADY ALLISON (Lady Helen) A Peek Down Below

Back in May 2015 we ran a story on the 36′ Salthouse built launch – LADY ALLISON, at the time we learnt that when launched she was named – LADY HELEN. Harold Kidd has commented that there is no record of a LA or LH on the Salthouse yard records, so there is a wee degree of mystery around the boats name. Brian Worthington has previously commented that at one stage it was named LA VIDA.

She is probably a sister ship to the other Salthouse 36’ launches – SEA FEVER (LADY BERYL when launched) and KAILUA. 

As is often the case with tme listings its states a 1968 build but we understand it was 1965.

Powered by a Ford 120hp D series diesel engine.

Thanks to Ian McDonald and the listing we today get a good gander below.
