Broker's Comments
What a unique boat. This Nelson 26 foot twin diesel clinker was built for Sir James Horlick 1st Barnet (of the drinks family) to ferry guests and provisions to the island of Ghia that he then owned off the West coast of Scotland. She is strongly built and with two stainless steel fuel tanks she is more than capable of long cruising or fishing. Please contact Andy Wood to arrange an early viewing.
