Wooden ships comments on this Cabin cruiser
A pretty little cabin cruiser, unknown builder but probably built around 1930. Large open cock-pit, sheltered helm position and a cabin under the raised fore deck with 2 berths and a sea toilet making her suitable for day sailing, sports fishing or even a week-end away.
She has sweet lines which should make her a sea-kindly, dry little boat, good size for her measurements and a handy little vessel.
After several years of enormous pleasure on the Fowey River this boat yard owner laid her up under cover in his own yard. After several years ashore he has now decided he is not going to use her, she is taking up space so best she goes to a new owner who can enjoy her as he has, hence the sensible price.
Inspected by Wooden Ships. More photos and info available.
