Really nice example of what I'm sure is a Finesse 24, cutter rigged shallow draft cruiser.
The 24 was the middle size and most popular of the range of clinker constructed boats built for the shallow waters of the Thames estuary by Alan Platt at his yard in Thundersley, Essex. the others being the original Finesse 21 and later a 27 version.
The 24 apparently had very generous accommodation both below decks and in the cockpit for her overall size and while not a racing machine had power and weight to make reasonable passage speeds.
The owners of this example have been very busy with sandpaper, varnish and paint, to keep her looking absolutely fabulous.
