30′ twin engine motor yacht

Full specification

Wooden Ships Comments on this 30′ Twin engine motor yacht 

Purposeful looking motor yacht with similar lines to a small Nelson hull but with the benefit of a good sized superstructure to make her a spacious and useable boat below.  Built in 1968 on the east coast, she has been used for many years to cruise the Solent and surrounding coasts with occasional trips to France.  She is economic at 6 knots cruising speed but can happily push on into a good blow if necessary.  Split accommodation with an aft cabin and fore cabin which is unusual in a boat this size.  The saloon is big enough for a few people but the wheelhouse is what gives her a big benefit by providing a large amount of extra covered space.  Survey available form 2010.  She has been antifouled and painted this season, engines have been serviced and she is ready to be used for the rest of the season.
