Built in 1950 by Chesford Marine in Kingsbridge, Devon, Rigsby II is a beautifully presented 19ft traditional open wooden day boat of classic clinker construction, full of charm and character.

Beautifully restored by Dennett Boat Builders, she offers the perfect balance of period appeal and practical enjoyment on the water. Powered by her original Stuart Turner P5M 4.5hp engine with electric dynostart, she retains all the authenticity expected of a proper traditional river launch.

She presents exceptionally well, with elegant lines, varnished timber detailing, and the kind of understated beauty that turns heads wherever she goes. Ideal for leisurely days on the Thames, picnics, pottering between riverside pubs, or simply enjoying classic boating at its finest.

Rigsby benefits from a brand new set of fenders and lines, a new 12v battery, and a brand new full cover by Thames Covers, making her ready for immediate use and easy ownership.

A particularly attractive feature is the possibility of a mooring in Teddington, offering a rare and highly desirable opportunity for a new owner to step straight into Thames boating.

Pretty, practical, and full of provenance, Rigsby is a delightful little boat that represents everything people love about traditional boating.
