Watson class
MSC Sprite plans
MSC Sprite was one of a class of three vessels built for the Manchester Ship Canal Company shortly after the Second World War. They were all given pixie names beginning with S. the other two were MSC Sylph and MSC Syrinx.
These small handy vessels were used for many purposes, directors launch, inspection launch, survey launch, tug and ferry to name a few, before being sold off as pleasure boats
Dimensions were 33 feet 6 inches LOA. X 8 feet Beam X 4 feet Draught and they were powered by 3 cylinder Russell Newbury engines.
If anyone has any recollection, knows of any history, has any photos, or further information of any of these boats I would dearly like hear of it.
