The interior fitout makes extensive use of stainless steel,
the saloon table, and the entire galley being finished in stainless
steel sheeting. There is a large vee-double berth in the forecabin,
with heads compartment and a (stainless steel finished) workbench,
separating this from the saloon. Aft is galley and chart table,
with a deep quarter berth aft of the chart table.

The Sabb 10 hp diesel has only a few hours running time. It
has hand or electric start, and drives a variable pitch prop.
These Sabb diesels were in production for about 50 years, and
are immensely long-lived and reliable.

The rudder blade is of heavy epoxy-saturated ply,
and is transom hung on massive gudgeons and pintles. Stored off
the boat is a new and unused Aries servo-pendulum wind vane gear
self-steering unit. A small wind charger on a post at the stern
keeps the batteries charged. |

Built by Oceancraft at Wadebridge, the hull plating ranges
from 10 mm at keel base to 4 mm on topsides and deck. The
plating was pre-primed, and she is framed with 2" x
1/4" steel at the Lloyds recommended spacing of 500
mm, with 3/4" round chine stringers.
She was then epoxy-coated and finished with chlorinated
rubber topcoating, with no filler whatever used on the hull.

She offers an immensely strong and well equipped ocean cruiser,
with very little left to do to be ready to cruise. The fitout is
practical and very strong, although not beautiful, with details
such as toughened glass windows, 4" cockpit drains with backflow
valves and heavy rigging. By modern standards she is under-engined,
though a low-revving diesel driving a variable pitch prop should
provide adequate auxiliary power. The sails are by Lucas, and are
new and unused, in top quality ultra-soft 'Vectis' dacron cloth.
