| Construction
Ferro Cement Construction with Full-Displacement underwater profile, paint finish.
The hull was constructed in 1978 in Wales, originally to be a fishing boat. The current owner bought the hull and has completed the coachroof, decks, bulkheads and cabin work to form a very substantial live aboard. Decks and coach roof are marine ply finished with woven matt glass and epoxy resin. Windows are marine quality aluminium and bronze. |

| Sails
Under the coach roof there is a steel frame at the door way to the forward cabin. This is mounted on the keel and is suitable for mounting a deck stepped mast if required. |

2 burner gas cooker, with Grill and Oven. Sink, Fridge, Cabin heating
1 heads (Sea Toilet), 1 handbasin, 1 shower.

The quality of the mahogany joinery in the saloon and galley is very good but the aft cabin is yet to be finished with just ply wood lining.

This is a very substantial, possible "Live Aboard" motor boat, with the ability to motor off if needed.
The hull was originally built by a Welsh farmer for his sons to go commercial fishing but it never happened and fifteen years ago, the curent owner aquired the hull.
Bit by bit she fitted her out. The coachroof, deck and wheelhouse are all complete and appear very substantial and of good quality. There is no denying that she needs some finishing internally but the quality of the work complete so far appears to be very good. Work in the galley & forward cabin would be first on the list. The aft cabin is mostly complete but needs finishing.
The boat is large enough for an enthausiastic DIYer to move onto and complete whilst in residence.
The current mooring is a tidal river berth and she floats on nearly all high tides. There are no water or electric services to the boat. The berth is owned by Carrick District Council, Truro.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
