Whale Boat 8.05 Mtr - US Navy
Description
As part of the Marshall Plan, this Whale boat was transferred from the US Navy to the Royal Navy after World War II.
In 2002, a 10-year restoration began, during which the Whale boat was completely transformed into the gem it is today.
Pictures of the restoration project are available.
As of 2012 the Z95 proudly sails the Dutch waters.
The state of maintenance is therefore perfect.
This is a "one of a kind", which elicits approving glances and compliments everywhere
