Present owner purchased in August 2009 as a bare hull with cabin and engine. Fitted out 2009-2011.
Hull completely restored when empty. All rust removed, painted in Owatrol/rylards mix and subsequently checked and re-painted
Sprayfoam insulation, lined in 6mm exterior ply plus tongue & groove.
Portholes are double glazed, by Caldwells.
Hull sprayfoam insulated (websters) to a depth of 2" from turn of bilge to cabin roof
Surveyed out of water and repairs done. Sandblasted at water line and given 6 coats of rylards all around. In March 2011 she was out at Eel Pie Island and re-checked/repainted all over. Out again in Uxbridge 2013. Docked and repainted April 2015. Now in need of some replating work on the bottom (NOTE - sides and chines are not in need of repair - replating small areas of the bottom is a much easier task). 2009 survey available for inspection.

Will require new wheelhouse awning (quoted at £300).
The hull was substantially overplated. Hull plating is now 3.4mm-6mm, so some overplating will be required in the near future, but this is normal for a vessel of this age.

Enter the boat into the wheelhouse which also serves as a well fitted galley. The wheelhouse drops down when moving the boat and a new cover for the roof is currently being made.
Steps lead down to the main living area, with 2nd cabin, currently used as a childs room but big enough for a double or a comfortable office.
Saloon is large and airy, with a small dining area and plenty of room for free standing furniture.
The bathroom has Miniature V&A roll top bath with shower, Sink, Electric macerator toilet (saniflo sn35). Glass mosaic tiles on floor of bathroom - trapdoor for free access to shower pump and bilge.
The master cabin is huge, with double bed, soft lighting and lots of storage space. It could be made into 2 smaller rooms.
Lots of deck space for the summer.

4 burner gas cooker/stove
