Powerboat Restorations MGB 81 & HSL 102


MGB 81 (Motor Gun Boat) HSL 102 (High Speed Launch)

Both boats are offered for sale

MGB 81 - 71.5' x 20.5' 46.6 tonnes

Is a motor gunboat built by the British Powerboat Company for the Royal Navy and launched on 26 June 1942. She has been fully and carefully restored for the owner by Powerboat Restorations and re-launched in September 2002

MGB 81 is unique. She is the only fully restored and operational example of a Royal Navy Coastal Forces MTB or MGB which saw active service in the Second World War. As a result of the restoration techniques used, MGB 81 retains her original performance capabilities but is now stronger, lighter and requires less maintenance.
