Looks in poor shape, but hardly a superyacht.

Forty eight years ago I worked for FB Wilds in Loddon making glass fibre boats for his Norfolk Broads holiday fleet.
I used to think about owning something like this and sail the world as an independently wealthy man. Such dreams to have when you are 18. Not sure how I was going to afford it whilst on a 'Youth Training Scheme' getting £8 per week plus free lodgings.

Can't recall any boats on Col - "superyachts" and anything that can potentially float on the water is FS speciality. I still have two of them in my remaining FS portfolio

I still have two of them in my remaining FS portfolio Yeah, I thought about it when I wrote the post. I was hoping that starting a sentence with the world collateral, therefore requiring capitalisation, wouldn't... confuse matters. To be clear I did not mean to comment on, or allude to, or reference in any way the former p2p platform known as "Collateral". I did however mean to refer to boats, used as collateral, on the FS platform.

Perhaps somebody who did get the t-shirt could Lendy you theirs? Always assuming the administration process hasn't already had the shirt off their back.

mmm me too. Holidays on the Norfolk Broads . We used Ransomes Boatyard out of Wroxham (When they make Oysters now!) . Sailing my dinghy on Hickling Broad led to me getting all my certificates. Never had quite enogh money to buy into it properly and the idea of Flotilla Holidays was always a bit naff. Had a great week sailing out of St Malo and around the Channel Islands but too old to do it now without some paid help.

In 1969 we sold the house, furniture and cars to buy an old 42ft motor sailer lying in Malta as it was in the sterling area, so you could take money there. Two years later we sold the boat in Falmouth and went back to work. Best part of my life.
This boat for sale would have been a very superyacht in the 50s but the rot looks so extensive that they will probably have to pay someone to take it away. No doubt FS or Lendy would have provided a high valuation for a large loan against it.
