FOR SALE

City Of Glasgow 11 is a Barnett class RNLI lifeboat.

52' length
14' beam
4'6" draft.

City of Glasgow 11 was built and went into service in 1953, remaining there until 1979.

She has been owned by the same family for 30 years, but ill health forces reluctant sale.

There is a forward cabin with 2 berths, a cabin with seating forward of the helm position, and a good-sized lounge, and galley aft.

A pod has been built above the aft deck, which has a double bed and opening windows. Entrance to this is via a ladder in the lounge.

She has twin Ford Thorneycroft 6 cylinder diesel engines that haven't run in a while, but we're very reliable, taking her to the Hebradies and back to Walton.
Fuel and water tanks have been removed.

Lots of original features from her days in service, large anchors on both sides, sailor VHF and much more

City of Glasgow 11 is in need of some TLC, but for the right person, it's a great project with lots of potential.
Currently on a mudberth at Titchmarsh Marina, Walton, Essex.

£25,000 ONO, but open to sensible offers.

Please contact Graham Lee or Bridget Baines for contact number/ further information.
Thank you.
