The Steam Launch “ HENLEY ”
THE SMARTEST MODEL BOAT EVER PRODUCED.
Length, 24-ins. Beam, 41-ins. Displacement, 24-lbs.
Weight ready for running, 3-Ibs.
A splendid sea boat—practically unsinkable—she is very fast.
The steering is particularly good.
The mahogany hull is not dug out of the solid, but built up by a special method, making an extremely light and strong boat.
The machinery is the S.T. Steam Plant with the new Stuart Marine Boiler and spirit lamp which won’t blow out, even in a gale of wind. Over 1,000 of the S.T. Engines have already been sold as sets of machined parts at 5/- each. Though we guarantee every engine to work perfectly, not half a dozen times has there been any difficulty.
The boat is superbly finished throughout and will be a delight to every owner.
£2 2s. (Post Free}.
