The topsides are so fair, with no sign of planking
joints, that she can easily be mistaken for having a GRP hull. The
original spruce mast & boom have been replaced with a Selden
black anodised alloy rig. |

The saloon originally had a pilot berth to port, but this has
been modified into shelf and lockers. There is electric lighting
as well as the three oil lamps. Saloon headroom is around 6 feet.
For a 30 foot yacht of this era, the accommodation is surprisingly
spacious.
|
| The forecabin has vee-berth with an insert
(not shown) to make a small double. The berth length is fairly short,
at not much more than 5 feet, so this is probably best thought of
as a childrens berth, which is why we are calling this a 4-to-6
berth boat
|
As well as the settee berths in the saloon, there are two deep
quarterberths aft of the galley and chart table. The settee berths
and quarterberths are over 6 ft long.

Below: The Volvo diesel is in the centre of the
saloon, inside an easily removable box which has the saloon table
as its cover. As a result, engine access is exceptionally good.
The engine drives a Brunton folding prop via an offset stern shaft,
to avoid weakening the keel. The engine had a major overhaul in
2005. |

Between 1998 and 1999 the hull was stripped back
to bare wood, the original caulking raked out, and some fasteners
renewed where necessary. The planking seams were then spline glued
rather than being recaulked, and the hull was then epoxied externally
and internally. |
|
This is a genuinely lovely little yacht, built by a good yard
of high quality materials, and in very good condition throughout.....
