Lady Sophina is believed
to have been powered by a petrol engine originally. In later
years she had been converted to steam. We decided to remove
the steam plant and install a new reliable 36hp Nanni diesel
engine. With the cabin removed, the hull replanked where necessary,
re-caulked and then repainted inside and out. The cabin was
reattached and varnished. The hull is mahogany on English
oak. The deck is made of alternate planks of mahogany and
teak. The roses carved into the cabin sides and helmsman foot
plate complete the superb restoration. |
