‘Coral II’ - Deben Four Tonner
Rather a famous little boat, ‘Coral II’ was the star of Classic Boat Magazine’s ‘The Joy of a Deben Four Tonner’ article in 2016 which extols at length the virtues of these charming craft. Sadly, since then ‘Coral II’ has fallen on rather harder times but, having returned home to Woodbridge, we look forward to finding her a new loving home.
’Coral II’ is the second Deben Four Tonner at the yard at the moment, joining ‘Maid of Veryan’ and Classic Boat are right, it really is a joy to see them all here and to see a historic, local fleet reforming.
‘Coral II’s engine is currently out of the boat having had a major overhaul and could be refitted or replaced.
