Description
'Laughing Waters’ is a striking 48ft Cruiser Stern Inspection Launch, built in 1987 by the highly regarded boatbuilder Peter Nicholls. With her distinctive and elegant slipper stern, she offers a timeless style that is guaranteed to turn heads across the canal and river network.
In 2022, she underwent a comprehensive refresh will the hull shot blasted back to bare metal and blacked with 3 coats of two-pack epoxy. The exterior was also professionally repainted by Willow Boats Ltd at Swanley. This careful maintenance ensures ‘Laughing Waters’ is both structurally sound and visually striking, ready for her next chapter afloat.
