Description

R W Davis - 2011 70' Northwich Trader - 'Marsland'. Owned and enjoyed for the last two and half years; Marsland has been an absolute pleasure to live aboard and continuously cruise. She handles with precision and is easily manageable either solo or in a group and is a testament to the build quality and reputation of R W Davis. 'Marsland', is finished externally in ' Light Weatherwork Grey' and internally different shades of 'Farrow and Ball' White. The internal fit out is of the highest quality and specification, and completed by the previous owner over a nine year period. 'Marsland', is for me the perfect liveaboard cruiser and I've wanted for nothing during my time owning her, with spray foam insulation throughout, two multi-fuel stoves, a Heritage Range and diesel powered central heating, even in the depths of winter at -11, she's been more that cosy inside at +30. On our journeys throughout the network, I have received so many compliments for 'Marsland', which also added to my enjoyment.
