Remarks
A traditional sea going vessel, well found and very well built.
MV Shipright's value is that it is built of solid Huon Pine, one of the best boat building timbers in the world. It would not be possible to build a boat of this size today as the cost of Huon Pine and the lack of available Huon Pine boat boards would make this prohibitive. Her deck is Celery Top Pine laid on plywood.
