Broker's Comments

Register with Boatshed to see 51 extra photos of this Wooden MFV .
This is lovely example of the traditional MFV style of vessel. Locally owned and maintained for much of her life she is offered in good condition but as you would expect of a vessel of this type and age work is needed. The interior accomodation could be easily improved and any work to date has been sympathetic to her style and origins. I love her deckhouse which retains much of the original equipment and charm. The interior is surprisingly light and airy and well ventilated. As a passagemaking liveaboard she would be ideal. These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
