1965 Martham Boatbuilding Juliette Class Motor Cruiser

CONSTRUCTION: Wood

YEAR: 1960s

DIMENSIONS: LOA 39′ 0″ (11.9m), BEAM 10′ 0″ (3m), DRAFT 2′ 7″ (0.8m)

COLOUR: White with varnished superstructure

INTERIOR: 7 berths in 3 cabins plus galley, 2 toilets (one believed with shower)

EQUIPMENT: Internal: The boat has a large central cockpit, with access fore and aft and also to one of the toilets (with shower). Going forward there is a storage area immediately to port at the foot of the companionway, with a fridge fitted. Going forward again, the main saloon has a single settee to port and another, which converts into a double berth, to starboard. The galley is in the bows and provides a cooker (2 burners, grill and oven), sink unit (with pressurised hot and cold water), worktops and cupboards. Going aft from the cockpit, there is a cabin with a single berth to either side, behind which is the aft cabin and the second toilet. The aft cabin has a double berth, plus hanging locker and dressing table. The boat has electric lighting throughout and there are gas heaters in all cabins. External: The boat has wide side decks and a folding windscreen and canopy, enabling her to go under all of Broadland’s bridges.

REMARKS: This is a large boat, with 6′ headroom throughout. They are light and airy and make a comfortable family cruiser.

OUR OPINION: Whilst she would undoubtedly benefit from some tidying, when taken onto our list, this vessel was in full running order being in the owner’s Broads hire fleet. On the day we saw her, she had just returned from providing another successful Broads holiday. She is currently undergoing a major refit (new decks, cabin sides, planking, etc) and her asking price has, in consequence, been increased from £15,000 to £21,000.
