Currently a basic conversion of the original hold. Split into 2 saloons, galley and double cabin with large deck/wheel house. The volume of the hold area would lend itself well to conversion to liveaboard or charter layout. The original character is still very much evident and the deck skylights give a good airy feel to down below. A heating system is installed but currently not connected. Ample storage space throughout.

Broker's Comments

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.
