New Pleasure Craft

The latest addition to Nelson's fleet of pleasure launches, the 37ft craft of Mr Dick Potton, took to the sea last month. The vessel, with its unusual bow lines and twin screws, created a lot of interest among those who saw her on the water. From what we have heard, the Bacardi, as she is named, showed wonderful stability in the choppy conditions prevailing at the time of her launching.
