History:
This is undoubtedly one of the finest Classic Motor Yachts on the market. With 2 very well maintained diesel engines (very low hours), and benefitting from an experienced and fastidious owner, you will not find a better boat in this price bracket. FULLY refurbished throughout to better than new specification. Please view to fully appreciate the quality of this vessel.
The present owner bought this boat in 1982, and over the next 4 years it was completely refurbished and fitted with two new 180hp Ford Sabre turbo diesels. When the vessel was re-engined it also had new shafts, rudders, props etc.
The hull was completely stripped inside and out. New planks were fitted both inside and out where required prior to the inside being treated and filleted in epoxy with the West system. During the replacement of some outside planking the hull was extended to incorporate a bathing platform within the hull structure. This also included the construction and fitting of a new laminated keel. The outside was then treated and encapsulated with the West system. The wheelhouse is a new construction with the old fibreglass roof fitted. The windows were also all replaced with new units, throughout the vessel.
Construction:
Construction Double diagonal mahogany planking fully encapsulated with West System epoxy. This system gives the beauty and strength of wooden construction, with the benefit of low maintenance. The entire boat is in superb condition, and is a credit to her present craftsman owner.
Accommodation:
This is a very attractive boat with its tortoise shell bow and its unique, but modern lines. The accommodation consists of two berths in the forepeak and four berths in the saloon, a double berth by lowering the table and two further bunk berths by raising the settee back. Aft of the saloon on the port side is the galley and on the starboard side is a large walk in toilet/wash room. Aft of this is a large wheelhouse and large open deck. The four fold back doors make the after deck and the wheel house one large social area.
