Wooden Ships Comments on this 50′ Admiralty MFV
Built for the admiralty although not much is known of her military career after her history files were lost in a fire during a refit. She potentially worked out of Malta for a time, probably as a harbour supply vessel or local patrols.
Bought by the present owners in 2003 and almost totally rebuilt in the years since. All new topside planking, lots of new frames, rebuilt deck, new bulwarks and stanchions completed in 2016. Engine refitted and engine room totally rebuilt including all new systems. The most recent work was completed in 2022 and involved a new stern post, some planking on the aft starboard quarter and new planks half the length of the hull on the port quarter.
An excellent boat for live aboard cruising with a spacious deck saloon/wheelhouse that offers a living space with panoramic views. Below decks she has 4 sleeping cabins, 2 doubles, a single and a large twin plus a heads compartment with a shower.
He length at 50’ is not excessive which will keep berthing costs to a minimum, but due to her design and the deckhouse she still has ample space aboard.
A smart, clean and dry vessel in seemingly good order with a well documented refit history in recent years.
Length on Deck 49’10”
Length Waterline 45’
Beam 15’4”
Draft 6’6”
Construction
Planked in larch on sawn oak frames fastened with galvanised boat nails.
The frames are set in pairs and made up of futtocks, through bolted with galvanised bolts.
Grown oak floors across the centreline. No external ballast keel but a new steel full length shoe has been fitted, weighing over 1 ton.
Keel bolts checked or replaced as necessary in 2012.
Internal ballast made of iron and concrete in the bilges as is common with this type of boats.
The deck is made up of the original straight laid pine deck which was overlaid with 2 layers of plywood and sheathed with glass fibre. It is finished with non-slip rubber mat for a low maintenance and practical finish.
High bulwark all round on all new stanchions mounted through the cover board and side bolted to the frames.
New bulwark planking and heavy capping rail.
Wheelhouse fitted in previous ownership by Tuffs boatyard o the Thames. Made of a teak frame and 2 layers of plywood, sheathed externally in glass fibre.
Wheelhouse roof extends over the side decks to give shelter. Wheelhouse roof is very solid and would be capable of taking storage racks for canoes etc.

Gaff ketch rig on deck stepped masts in tabernacles.
