HMS WILTON

The new home of the Essex Yacht Club, Leigh-on-Sea

Wilton 'under tow' on her way to the Medway on Sept 22, 2001

At last the future of the worlds first GRP warship has been secured, after she was purchased by the Essex Yacht club to become their new floating headquarters to replace the ageing "Bembridge"

She recently moved from the Medway, although still undergoing  her conversion.

More updates on the ship will be coming in the near future as and when the conversion starts.

It is hoped that she will be ready for use in about a years time.
