Description

Ideal for living aboard an open space was created for use as a 22 seat intimate theatre. You can stand up inside, not always possible on these types of boat and there’s a flat floor.

She was registered as a commercial vessel and various safety additions and adaptations were made to gain this status. This expired in September 2024, and with minimal effort could be re-instated. Safety additions will be included in the sale.

As well as a performance venue she would make a good liveaboard vessel as significant work has been done towards this use. The engine runs sweetly and has had minimal use. She draws less than 90cm so would work well in shallow locations.

Please see below for details of work completed.

Currently moored at Seaton, Devon. Plenty of photos and videos available, just ask.

Originally purchased from Alan Johnstone, Stonehaven who deals with many such boats.
