The design offers a single open-plan cabin forward, accommodating two people comfortably on ‘V’-shaped seating forward. With a galley area to starboard aft corner of the cabin and a genuinely separate heads compartment to port. Additionally, the closed wheelhouse affords sufficient space for a small, two-person ‘dinette’ arrangement to starboard side, offering opportunity to view the surroundings while protected from the elements. The exterior cockpit has a bench seat across the width of the boat and is enclosed by an acrylic canvas canopy with zipped openings to all three sides. 

 

Within the interior cabin, two plywood panels with large sectioned hardwood cappings have been provided that extend the width and height of the originally moulded seating/berths and deep (6”) good quality cushions are provided. The hull sides – that offer backrest support for anyone sitting on the berths – have been lined using nylon needlecord material and then matching backrest cushions of 4” foam are also provided, offering comfort and further insulation. There is evidence of a pedestal mounting beneath the carpeting between the two settee/berths probably for a table, although a table hasn’t been found on board. 

 

The galley area is to starboard side, aft end of the cabin and in common with the rest of the internal fit-out is to good standard, featuring hardwood edged doors to the individual lockers, with a simulated inlaid finish and heavy-duty, positive catches. Crockery and cups racks have been integrated beneath the starboard side deck. A Flavel Vanessa, 2-burner hob with grill is fitted (LPG gas canister secured in the cockpit) and a deckhead ventilator is directly above. A stainless steel sink is fed by electrically pumped water (cold only), directly beneath a deckhead light with prismatic lens to assist in spreading the working light. A hot air outlet is fitted through the front fascia near to floor level. A 13A, 240V double gang AC outlet is fitted to the bulkhead alongside the galley. 

 

A separate and well enclosed [with panelled door] heads compartment is fitted to port, opposite the galley. This compartment offers at least 5’8” of headroom and is generous in the amount of floor space too. A shelved and close locker offers a remarkable amount of stowage and the hull-side is nicely lined with veneered plywood to match the joinery. A marine-flushing toilet is fitted, with the associated sea cocks being easily accessible. 

 

Wheelhouse: Within the Wheelhouse, two single seats face each other (fore and aft) in a dinette form to starboard side, over a small table. Deep stowage is provided by each seat base, with further stowage found behind closed and latched doors beneath the side deck here (and to port side). 

 

The helm’s position to the port side is provided with a pedestal-mounted seat, with a folding backrest to minimise its intrusion in the walking area from the wheelhouse door to the main cabin’s companionway. The wheelhouse is neatly carpeted, and features a well made access panel above the engine space. 

 

Cockpit area, fitted with a stern bench seat with storage and access to the steering ‘flat’ within. 

A full cockpit canopy with removable side and rear panels is lent support by a removable, but rigid stainless steel frame that lends support to the canvas work and ensures maximum headroom. 

 

A Eberspacher diesel-fired, hot air heater is fitted and a 6 Amp battery charger to be able to use the 12V DC systems when the vessel is connected to a suitable AC shore support system. 

A Yanmar 3GM30, 29hp 3-cylinder, naturally aspirated marine diesel engine (supplied by Cellar Marine and fitted new, in 2001) is fitted with a 3.2:1 ratio gearbox to minimise prop speed and an ‘Aquadrive’ coupling to reduce vibration transfer to and thereby noise levels within the hull. 

 

A conventional packing gland is fitted to the inboard end of the stern tube, together with a remote greaser. 

A single lever morse engine control and standard Yanmar engine control panel is fitted. These do not incorporate an engine hours run meter. In the previous and relatively long ownership (being from Aug.1991 to 2020) engine hours in 1992 (on the previous engine) were recorded in a paper log as being 46 hrs and in 2019; 50½ hrs, suggesting that an average of around 50 hrs per year is a reasonable ‘guesstimate’ for the majority of the engine’s lifetime, but the current owners are at pains to stress that they haven’t done more than 20 hrs per year. 

The engine was last serviced in September 2025.
