EQUIPMENT: Internal: The vessel has seating to either side, all with fitted cushions. There is a locker under the aft deck and further storage cupboards under the foredeck. In addition, there is a movable battery box, complete with fitment for stowing the electric outboard. There are two further fitted cushions to facilitate over-nighting under the cuddy. The boat has a fitted tonneau cover, plus an over-boom tent which gives headroom of just over 5′. She comes complete with mudweight, ropes, fenders and quant-pole.
REMARKS: This boat has been superbly well maintained, almost without regard to cost. We understand her rudder was re-designed by Andrew Wolstenholme and that this has resulted in her being light to handle and very responsive.
OUR OPINION: We believe this to be the best half-decker we have had on our books and recommend early viewing. Absolutely beautiful.
