She remained in Trinity House ownership,
maintained to the standards required by DTI Class VIIIA, until purchased
by her present owner, who refitted the interior in teak paneling
to use as a long-distance motor yacht with live-aboard comfort.
She now has two private double cabins, one with a full size double
berth and the other with two singles, plus two more single bunks.
If required there are two more settee berths in the saloon, and
a further two crew berths in the lazarette store room aft of the
engine room. Both double cabins have their own washbasins, and the
heads has a proper full size shower compartment |
|
|
|
The galley has a gas cooker with
4 hobs, grill and oven, and good sink, drainer and work surfaces,
plus refrigerator with freezer compartment. Water heating is by
gas. |
Forward of the saloon and galley is the large wheelhouse, with
full electronics including radar, GPS with NMEA output for computer
display, autopilot, echo sounder and repeater, fish-finder, radio
receiver and two separate VHF radio transmitters. As well as the
helmsman's seat, there is additional seating and a good sized
chart table.

Overall, she is an impressively strongly built and powerful
long range all-weather motor cruiser. Whilst externally she
retains a workmanlike look and feel, the interior accommodation
is very attractively and comfortably fitted out for living aboard.
