If you are a little delicate about dirty boats please look away.

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.

Lets hope the dirt is not hiding any nastiness

Interior is in OK shape.

       

Gave the fly screens a quick polish.

She is home and the clean up has started.

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.
