Boat Description
Bermuda Yacht Club Service Launch design.
1963 Fairey Falcon Yacht No.13 to an original design by Sir Eldon Trimingham, Commodore, RBYC for a club service launch (jollyboat), on which Fairey Marine based a very stable and commodious yacht, the Fairey Falcon (and a variant cabin cruiser the Faun).
I purchased her two years ago and converted her to an Electric Launch; without doubt this is the best of any boats I’ve owned over fifty years. Renamed “IL Falco” (I’ve retained my granddaughters boat name “LolaBella” for future use!) she has the looks of an Italian Lakes Boat, and has been featured in Waterways World magazine, as has my first electric boat conversion (a Flying Fifteen also designed by Fairey Marine).
She has a gorgeous patina to the woodwork and a few surface-only scars and scratches on the hull (white shining paintwork versustwo hundred years old canal locks!).
