3 - 4 berths.Lying by the Mersey at Fiddlers ferry, WarringtonShe's been in my ownership for the past 22 years.Fully rebuilt and commissioned sum 20 years ago, following a lengthy spell on the hard. ( some 15 years). Full details available on request, supported by photographs. Including new keel bolts, new oak floors etc. Entire new cockpit, coach roof etc… I completed a major overhaul overt 4 years 2017 to 2021( part time!) on the hard.She is rot free and leak free and ready for a new adventureDo not mistake this for one of the many aging wooden yachts out there that are down on their luck having been neglected and abandoned to their fate.
This little folkboat is fully restored. I’ve worked on her for 20 years. I know every inch of her. Inside and out. Structurally she is totally sound.
Aesthetically superb.The only area that lets her down are the sails. They are all past their best and would benefit from a new suit. Recent work carried out :New yanmar GM10 diesel engine*Mikuni diesel night heater installedNew aft deck in marine plyGlass and epoxy deck covering for the entire deckNew bespoke bronze horse made.New stainless chain platesRecorked with synthetic caulking bellow the waterlineNew diesel tank ( Vetus) Currently afloat in a dock adjacent to the yard. She has taken up very well. She is very watertight ( for a wooden boat) probably lets in less than 1/2 a pint a day!
