If you are a little delicate about dirty boats please look away. :D ;)
She is being delivered by road to a local yard on Friday and I can then start work on this stunning boat.

I have been very lucky as they are very rare in the UK. I think it is probably the only one here and possibly in Europe.
I bought it without seeing the engine running. Hopefully a full service and new fuel will get her working again.
All the best,
Paul.
Behind the dirt looks to be in pretty good shape !

Given the boot top a coat of paint and new antifoul.
I also removed the sea toilet, you can see the holding tank on the floor. I prefer to have a different type of loo.
Unfortunately I have not been able to start the Yanmar 1GM10. So I will try the electric outboard, I will also carry a petrol 6hp for the 15 mile trip from the boatyard to the marina on the Thames.
