 M.V.Yvalda is a beautiful, 48 foot classic twin screw, ketch rigged motor launch, designed by GL Watson, and built in Scotland in 1936 by the renowned boat builders McGruer and Co.

She is a solid, wooden boat of teak and oak and powered by her original Gardner engines. She has spacious decks and wheelhouse, and a cosy comfortable saloon. Built for a Scottish gentleman, Yvalda was once owned by the British Royal Navy and used by Sir Winston Churchill during World War Two.
