This unique vessel and home is rich in history, charm and style. It was requisitioned during the Second World War, appeared in a BBC documentary and was used by the RNLI for training. This has been the owner's home for over 20 years, during which time it has been a 'lovely liveaboard' adding "having cruised the east coast, France and Belgium, I know it is nice at sea and takes the ground well." The boat has a warm and cosy traditional feel. It gives the impression of having been well maintained in this ownership and could now do with some ongoing maintenance. Separate Captain's quarters, with heads, double berth, galley and multifuel stove. There is acres of space outside for both operating the boat when necessary, but also as living space. Inside there are two double berths, one of which is in the self contained 'Captain's Quarters'. These quarters feature a separate galley, heads with a shower, raised double bed and a multi fuel stove. In the main cabin can be found another double bed, open plan saloon and dining area, also with a multi-fuel stove. The interior also features a second galley and the walk-in 'pantry'. The engine room is spacious, with good room to move around and operate the Rennes engine, which provides plenty of power for cruising and manoeuvring the boat. This boat really is unique in its heritage, design and presentation. It would make a comfortable cruising platform, home or holiday opportunity.
