Description

1981.
Original white gelcoat in good order.
Currently in Ayrshire. Beta 50hp engine with around 400 hours. Two separate stainless steel fuel tanks, 130 litres in each tank.

Raymarine autopilot, forward-looking sonar, ultrasonic wind instrument, Standard Horizon DSC VHF radio with AIS.
Internal wheel steering, together with a tiller in the cockpit.

Rigging renewed 2022/3. Sails hardly used. Stack packs on both booms.
Two single berths in forecabin. Saloon dinette converts to a double berth.
Nelson Spinflo 2 burner calor gas hob, grill and oven. Two galley sinks, one with a water purifier (needs a new filter cartridge).
Footpump or pressurised water supply. Stainless steel 90 litre water tank.
Heads with new Jabsco toilet. Sink with footpump or pressurised water supply.

AGM house (95AH) and engine (70AH) batteries, new in 2024. Digital BEP VSR. Inverter. BEP battery monitor.
50W solar panel with Victron MPPT, bluetooth, controller (both new 2025). 7 New LED interior lights fitted 2024.
Cobra chartplotter (old but reliable) with charts for the whole of the UK.

Lots of storage and sizeable internal volume for a yacht of this length.
Hull epoxied and Copper-coated in 2016, although there is a small patch showing bubbles/blisters, for some reason.
Fittings for attaching beaching legs.
VAT certificate.
Removable stainless steel davits.

Profurl roller furling. Lewmar ST 30 gib sheet winches, as new. Two Gibb halyard winches and one for the roller furling.
16kg Delta Anchor + 52 metres of marked 8mm chain. Simpson Lawrence anchor windlass. Danforth kedge anchor.
Stainless steel tubing guard rails all round, with a gate to port and to starboard.

Some of the interior timberwork has suffered cosmetically from previous fresh water ingress. Some has been replaced.
None of it is structural. The exterior timberwork needs TLC.
The carpet lining has also suffered cosmetically. The upholstery is dated. The small patch of bubbles/blisters on the hull will need attention at some point in time.

After a sunny, solo, trouble-free, spring sail to Ireland and the Isle of Man, she is ready to go again - but my knees aren't!

Specifications

Accommodation

Large pilot house.
Saloon with a well-fitted galley and a dinette table which can convert to a double berth.
Heads with new toilet and plumbing. Anti-syphon loops fitted to both inlet and outlet.
The pressurised water supply can be turned off when cruising to conserve water by using the footpumps (new 2024).
There is hanging space and storage for boots etc.
The forepeak is currently two single berths but could be made into a double by adding an infill.
There is a privacy curtain to separate the forepeak from the saloon.
Good standing headroom throughout.

Construction

These boats are solidly built, along the lines of a Scottish fishing vessel.
They handle heavy weather well, whilst keeping the crew warm and dry in the pilothouse.
The deep cockpit adds to safety. There is a set of cockpit cushions to enjoy the better weather.
Fittings are in place for beaching legs, but there are no legs with the boat.

Equipment

Raymarine autohelm, which works well.
Standard Horizon DSC VHF radio with integrated AIS.
Echopilot sonic wind instrument, showing wind speed and direction.
Echopilot forward looking sonar, which is also linked to a traditional paddle wheel to indicate speed through the water.
BEP battery voltage monitor.
BEP digital Voltage Sensitive Relay (new 2024)
Built-in inverter, 350W
Compass/handbearing compass.
Windscreen Wiper
Electric bilge pump.
Manual bilge pump.
Carbon Monoxide alarm.
Clock, barometer, digital temperature and humidity guage,
Fire blanket
Two fire extinguishers

Navigation Equipment

Cobra 600 chartplotter, from 2006 but works fine. Complete with C-Map Mega Charts for the whole of the UK, not upto date but good enough.
I also use paper charts and pilot books.
(In addition I use Navionics software on my phone and a tablet, but they are not part of this sale)
I set the course manually on the Raymarine Autopilot but I understand it can be linked to a chartplotter to follow a programmed course.

Engine(s)

Beta 50hp diesel engine with shaft drive.
Around 400 hours. Oil and filters changed only 45 hours running ago. In use, so these numbers may change.
Starts on the button and no problems at all, so far.
At 1800 revs, she'll easily do 5.5 to 6 knots or thereabouts, depending on the wind and seastate. There's lots of power in reserve for punching into big seas or tides.

Two stainless steel tanks of 130 litres each with separate fuel feeds, or can be combined. Each tank has a fuel level sight pipe attached. Enzyme additive has always been used to avoid any fuel bug problems.

Sails & Spars

The sails have had little use since new.

Mizzen standing rigging renewed in 2022 and the main standing rigging renewed in 2023.

Safety Equipment

DSC VHF radio, with AIS
EPIRB
White electronic LED flare
Red electronic LED flare
Emergency ladder
Horseshoe buoy with a LED light
Safety jackstay wire running on the deck, port and starboard, to clip a harness to.
Electric bilge pump
Manual bilge pump
