Inchcape 45

Wright International Ltd is delighted to be able to bring this excellent vessel which has lots of potential as a liveaboard. This vessel has been very well maintained and is ready to sail. The hull has been out the water, stripped and repainted with two pack paint, re – caulked and new anodes fitted. The anti foul is so good it even carries a five year warranty. This boat was manufactured in 1964 when skills were superior to what they are today. It has proved itself as one of the best sea worthy boats and would sail anywhere at any time. Being Larch on Oak it can be maintained for a long time to come. In the 70`s the wheelhouse was removed and an aluminium one was fitted in its place. The 6 cylinder Gardner engine can run all day at 8 knots and only burns just 2 Gallons per hour. The vessel would be ideal for a liveaboard, workboat, dive charter or fishing vessel. Whatever you intend to use it for you will not regret viewing this vessel. It is lying in some of the finest waters to be found anywhere in the world.

Construction

When you look at this Inchcape 45 you realise instantly it was designed as a sea worthy vessel and built to last. Built in 1964 with solid oak frames at 2 Ft centres. Then the larch planking is attached using galvanised fasteners. In 1991 the deck was replaced with teak epoxied on ply deck. The bulwarks have all round varnished capping rail.

This is the long keel version with a canoe stern. This boat is relatively easy to manoeuvre on its own, but when you consider the owner has fitted a hydraulic bow thrusters.

In 2006 the vessel was completely stripped back to bare timber. It was sanded and repainted using Ameron two pack paint. The caulking was check and replaced where necessary and the anodes were replaced.

The anti foul was stripped and replaced with new anti foul which carries a five year guarantee.
