Broker's Comments
The onboard private accommodation is basic but could be further improved to make a very comfortable home. It is usable as it is.
The midships deck area is enormous and is currently not utilised but has a working 3 ton crane.
There are vast amounts of dry storage areas under the foredeck, down below the main saloon and living quarters. The former bridge areas are used as a workshop, paint store and rope store.
The current mooring has a very modest monthly charge and this may be available by arrangement with the local authorities, or the vessel could be towed to a new location.
This vessel could appeal to those looking for a "sea change", as a live aboard, as a commercial venture, as a project to futher improve or as a going concern. Most of the hard work has been done so please contact the broker to arrange a personal inspection which is strictly by appointment only.
