Notes:

The largest 'Watson' motor sailor, all based on the Watson lifeboat type hull. As with the others, it was offered in a number of variations, including a commercial fishing vessel, as well as a number of different stages of construction with different power options including twin screws. We refer here to the motor sailor version for recreational use.
