Broker's Comments

Boatshed Plymouth are pleased to offer this Ex Navy Training Barge for sale.
Originally a Lighter 851 civilian fuel vessel she was converted into a Seamanship Training Barge by the Royal Navy in 1986. She was moored near Plymouth and kept in commission until 2007 when she was sold. As expected with a MOD vessel, no expense was spared in keeping her within full regulations and in top condition. We have a box full of old surveys and details of works carried out on her.
The current owners have converted her into comfortable living accommodation over the last 3 years. They have completed large areas of the boat such as the electrics, kitchen, bathrooms, heating (and air conditioning) but there is still plenty of scope in parts of the boat yet to be converted. She is vast inside with plenty of room for the largest of families to live in or perhaps for a commercial use (subject to compliance with the necessary regulations).
Please do call to discuss this interesting historic Naval Ship in more detail. There is much more to her than we can fit onto this Web listing.
She is priced to sell and the current residential mooring is available if required.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
