Additional Information:

Colvic Craft Ltd., Essex, were leaders in the range, design and production of GRP craft in the 1980s through to the early 2000s. Motor boats and sailing craft were built either in kit form or completely fitted out by Colvic. This model is a good example of their approach to the family market in those years, providing good space and performance for both inshore and inland waters use. Recently reduced to lead to early sale. Location: Ashore at NEWHAVEN, East Sussex, close to Broker.
