The Cockwell’s 37ft Classic Launch designed by Andrew Wolstenholme and built by Cockwells in 2008 was nominated for The Motor Boat of the Year Awards 2009.

Dave Cockwell, of Cockwells Modern and Classic Boatbuilding, Falmouth, attended the annual Motor Boat of the Year Awards dinner in London where the company was selected as one of the three finalists for the Traditional and Retro Motorboat category.

“It is an honour for one of our launches to be chosen alongside some of the world’s best motor boats,” Mr Cockwell.
