This Bates Astral 810 was build in the mid to late 70's by Bates and Son and makes a perfect inland family cruiser. This particular model offers great potential for someone prepared to show a little TLC. Whilst she would benefit from from carpentry to freshen up some of the woodwork, some new cushions in the aft cabin and a general spruce up gets you on the water for the coming season to enjoy your summer staycation!

A recent insurance survey has been carried out and is available on request.
