Classic powerboat restored in Hampshire marina

Lou Hannan

Available for over a year

Look around a marina and you'll see a whole range of boats on display - from the smallest 1 person launch to super yachts worth millions of pounds. And every so often, you'll spot a craft that stands out from the crowd. Just outside Southampton, on the River Hamble is Universal Marina. And that's where Octopussy is berthed. Neil Sackley has been to see her, and the man who's painstakingly restored her, James Butterfill.
