FALKA<br />
A RARE FIFE MOTOR LAUNCH<br />
THIS RARE EXAMPLE OF A FIFE MOTOR<br />
LAUNCH WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT ON THE<br />
CLYDE AT WILLIAM FIFE’S FAMOUS YARD IN<br />
1919. SHE IS <strong>52</strong>FT LONG AND SERVED AS<br />
A SEAPLANE TENDER. LATER SHE SPENT<br />
MANY YEARS PLYING THE WATER OF THE<br />
INNER HEBRIDES.<br />
WE DISCOVERED HER IN A VERY SAD<br />
STATE IN A MUD BERTH AND KNEW<br />
IMMEDIATELY THAT SHE WAS FROM THE<br />
FIFE YARD. SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATIONS<br />
CONFIRMED THAT SHE WAS INDEED FROM<br />
THE FAMOUS FIFE YARD.<br />
FALKA’S HULL HAS THE BEAUTIFUL<br />
CLASSIC LINES FAVOURED IN EDWARDIAN<br />
TIMES. IN OUR PROPOSED<br />
RECONSTRUCTION SHE MAKES AN I<br />
DEAL REGATTA SUPPORT LAUNCH FOR<br />
TENDING A CLASSIC UN-POWERED<br />
SAILING YACHT SUCH AS AN 8 OR 12<br />
METRE. ALTERNATIVELY, SHE WOULD<br />
BE PERFECT FOR PICNICKING AND<br />
EXPLORING THE SHORELINE.<br />
WE WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO TALK TO<br />
ANYONE SERIOUSLY INTERESTED IN THIS<br />
EXCITING OPPORTUNITY.<br />
CONTACT: PIERS WILSON<br />
FREE TO A GOOD HOME<br />
We will give Falka free to the person<br />
who commissions us to restore her!<br />
