Hull was built in 2012 and launched in 2015 this unique wide beam was fit out by boat builder Ian Davies who was featured in Waterways world about the time of the build.
Fully fit out in American white oak combined with Karndean herringbone flooring throughout it combines the classic look of a traditional fitout but in a very modern style.
The boat was fully shot blasted and 2 pack epoxy coated 4 years ago and spray painted in its current livery, combined with new canopies 2 years ago and custom sign writing by a renowned sign writer it really does get lots of attention everywhere it goes!
Entering from the stern is a hallway leading to the second bedroom which was previously used as an office, the bathroom and finally the Galley. This Unique layout lends itself really well to liveboard use as there is plenty of space for a dining table and splits the lounge and kitchen so you’re not looking at the kitchen mess while watching tv or relaxing. Just to the side of the oven is a built in ironing board which folds away neatly into the wall. The lounge is a great size and gets plenty of light from the large skylight. The front bedroom has lots of storage and cupboard space along with a full size double bed- there is space for a king queen size bed if you wish.
Engine Room
Beta 60 Engine – 2100 hours
This has been serviced annually in my ownership and always used genuine Beta marine oil and filters. All belts replaced annually also. Plenty of receipts for works completed
PRM gearbox
3 alternator setup with Dometic mains alternator – 5kw Along with a Balmar smart alternator to charge the Lithium battery setup
Engine bay and engine completely repainted 4 years ago
Hospital silencer and sound insulated engine bay so engine is really quiet when in use
Electric / Technology Setup
Twin 340ah Roamer lithium batteries - still under warranty
1kw ETFE coated solar – These are Austrian manufactured not cheap Chinese ones and cost over £750 each…Coupled with Victron solar controller from easter to September you don’t need to run the engine to charger the batteries
Victron multiplus Inverter Charger – replaced 2 years ago so under warranty
Balmar Smart Alternator – this chargers the lithium batteries at 200 amp per hour constantly reducing charging in winter to around 2 hours every other day in winter
Victron Cerbo GX and smart shunt so you can monitor the batteries on a screen if you so wish or remotely on your phone from anywhere you have access to the internet
Dometic Travelpower 5kw – This is an onboard generator run from ther engine, I generally use this to power the washer dryer whilst cruising to save a heavy load on the batteries. The lithium setup is so good this is hardly used nowadays but a great back up should you need it.
Internet is via Starlink satellite internet backed up by a Teletonika 5g Router. Wifi is provided inside the craft and outside so if there is no phone signal you can use your phone/devices outside.
Monitored alarm and CCTV
Heating
Heating is provided via a very modern Pellet stove – this is very easy to use press a button on a touch screen and it lights in seconds, it runs almost silently and uses next to zero electricity. To heat all winter costs around £160 and I order fuel online and store it on the front of the boat. All the benefits of a Stove but without the hassle. Smokeless zone approved.
Webasto diesel heater paired with Nest Thermostat and Cast iron radiators, this works really well! In summer I turn off the radiators with a switch and set the heater to run for 30 mins a day, this gives enough hot water for 2 people. In winter just flick the switch over and set your desired base temp (I use 18 degrees)and it keeps the boat from ever getting cold. The heater was serviced last year by a Webasto authorised repair centre and has faultlessly since its installation.
Maxview TV aerial
230v sockets with USB throughout
Exterior
Boat was fully shot blasted and epoxied 4 years ago and then spray painted
Jotun 2 Pack Blacking was applied at that time, 2 years ago boat was out of the water to have propellor trued so had anodes inspected – all ok and recoated 2 pack blacking. Hull was also inspected and like new no evidence of pitting to note.
