Manishi is a beautiful wooden yacht built by E F Elkins in Christchurch in 1936 and was described as a twin screw cutter, however in the 1970’s twin BMC engines were added making her a motor yacht. She is a project which has been started but not finished and would suit somebody with experience of rebuilding wooden boats, she still has lots of her art deco fittings and the engines are both in working condition, her hull doesn’t seem to be too bad as she is still afloat and doesn’t seem to take on too much water. Once finished this boat will be a stunning live aboard with many years of boating left in her I’m sure. She is available on a mooring at Richborough port subject to separate agreement.
