CLASSIC BOAT RESTORATION

background

C'est La Vie is a 1967 Bourne 35 Centre Cockpit motor launch, primarily operating along the UK's Norfolk Broads and inland waterways.

The Requirement

Having fallen into disrepair over the years, she has been recently acquired by her current owner, who wished to undertake significant restoration work to bring her back to her former glory.

The Solution

Webb Boats surveyed and appraised the boat, and proposed a schedule of works for the owner to consider. The owner had the option of taking this survey to run a restoration project elsewhere, however following research and having been reassured by previous work undertaken, the owner decided to appoint Webb Boats to conduct a bow-to-stern restoration.
