Description

A lot of boat for the money. Gentleman’s motorsailer origins thought to be 1929. An absolute gem, a ‘one design’ wooden boat, unbelievably beautiful inside and out. Pictures on the water are 2022 and pictures on the hard are current after professional hull painting.

Substantially re-ribbed and also double planked below the waterline (as told by previous owner using teak) and West System sheathed (but needing repair). Previous owner converted to twin bilge keels and twin Perkins 4108 with twin masts and sails, although not used to my knowledge. With new timbers in place she was recommissioned by me in 2006 with new propellors and cable cutters for cruising on the Gt Ouse in Cambridgeshire. Lifted out 2012 and back in 2018. Lifted out 2022 to current.

Mahogany carpentry inside, log burner, good headroom, 2 berth, calorifier, sink x2 one with shower head, gas locker, 4 batteries, Eberbacher heater but not connected. Featured in GOBA magazine spring 2023

Open access to both 4108 engines in kitchen.

Most of the work has been completed but selling as a project and as is often the case there is some still to do and sold as seen.
