Recently Surveyed – September 2025 Waterlily was surveyed out of the water at Strand-on-the-Green in September 2025. Since the survey, the hull has been blacked and pitting welded on both the sides and the bottom, addressing the corrosion identified in the report.

The survey did flag that the base plate will need replacing within the next 18 months. This is already in hand — quotes have been obtained from several London boatyards, and a provisional slot is held at P&O Marine. Work to be completed by the buyer.
