Description

Historic Race-Boat: 1971 Cowes-Torquay-Cowes. One owner in period and since then only in one family to date. Built by W A Souter & Sons in Cowes Isle of Wight using their famed cold-moulded technique to a Ray Hunt design for Mr William Govett. W A Souter & Sons had developed their cold-moulding technique over many years and Laksfors III is an excellent example of this type of construction, being well suited to one-off commissions/manufacture. Laksfors III took part in the 1971 Cowes-Torquay-Cowes powerboat race powered by two 325 Mercruiser engines. Subsequently sold into the present family and lightly used at weekends and for family holidays. The Owner and Vendor grew up on this boat and took on Ownership upon the passing of his father. The final touches are being applied after a lay-off so this will be a turn-key opportunity after the sea trial which will be videoed. (The Broker took videos in August 2024 for the start-up of each engine and the powered engine hatch). Powered by twin 6 cylinder Yanmar turbo-charged diesel engines driving RTS drive-legs: Laksfors III has only done about 345 hours since major over-haul of each engine. Please contact the Broker to discuss this rare opportunity.
