7. COMMENT

   AMAZONE is the last pre-war pedigree motor yacht of her size available for restoration. Launched in August 1936, AMAZONE was built to a very high standard by John I Thornycroft & Co. in Southampton. This is a yacht with significant potential. She has good interior volumes, significant deck space and a fine sea going hull form.

   Now in Falmouth significant preparatory works have been carried out. The modern superstructure has been removed and the hull stripped down to the original elements ready for restoration.
