The decks feature high grip tread master providing a secure grip and many of the 5 dorades are protected by stainless frameworks to prevent ropes from snagging around them.

In addition there is an asymmetric as well as storm jib – both of which are in very good condition as are all the sails on board.  Inventory  Inventory   Electronics Raymarine – wind, depth, speed displays Raymarine – chart plotter at helm Raymarine EVO Autopilot and Jeffa powerful mechanical motor drive Raymarine AIS transponder Raymarine Radar HD Raymarine VHF DSC radio and cockpit remote Mic Stereo with FM and Bluetooth TV and Glomex amplifier 12v 1,000W Windlass and 100m 10mm chain Wireless chain counter and control Side Power bow thruster (24v) with remote control 240v to 12v battery charger Solar power regulator – Victron (Bluetooth) Fridge – deep and well insulated with saltwater cooling pump Large Solar cells array on gantry (380 Watts) Calorifier BEP Gas detector and automatic shut off valve BEP Battery monitor Smoke and carbon monoxide alarm Engine starting battery Odyssey (2021) Bow thruster batteries x 2 Odyssey Spiral (2021) Windlass battery Odyssey (2022) Domestic AGM batteries 180Ah x 2 (2021) Shore power 240v ring main with sockets in saloon/galley   Engine Nissan marine diesel 55HP – 600 hours Exhaust alarm Hillard silent exhaust system Hydraulic gearbox Aquadrive system Feathering 4 blade propellor with overdrive Twin diesel filter setup for the 2 tanks     Safety 4 man life raft Danbuoy with flag and light Life ring MOB system Flares – offshore pack Fire extinguishers x 3 Fire blanket   Ancillaries Boat hook Inflatable Avon tender with oars Dickinson ‘Arctic’ gravity fed diesel heater with bespoke day tank feed Twin diesel tanks Twin water tanks Holding tank Bosuns locker with space for generator if required Fenders and warps Boarding ladder Stern platform in varnished solid teak Stern manual anchor windlass with solid mooring bollard Large bicycle locker Aeries self-steering system Boat legs to enable drying out Rinai instant hot water system Taylors deluxe gas oven with grill, hot plate and burners. 5 dorades with stormguards to enable good ventilation and a dry boat     Rig Sailspar mast and boom (2016) All standing rigging 2016 including stormsail stay wire with tensioner Twin Selden poles for double headsail use Sailspar solid vang Sanders mainsail (2016) with stackpack system Sanders 110% headsail (2016) Sanders gennaker foresail (2016) Sanders Asymmetric sail (2016) Sanders storm jib in orange (2016) Sailspar headsail furler Furlex headsail furler Mast mounted lewmar winches x 2 Cockpit sheet winches x 4 (2 ST) All reefing lines led back to cockpit Lewmar clutches x 8 Lewmar 30 winches on coachroof x 2 Spray hood with zip on bimimi as well as full cockpit enclosure tent with supporting framework Mast steps for easy ascent to top of mast Adjustable double genoa sheet cars Full guard rails with a gate each side Stainless steel toerail for secure block anchor points as well as rust free on common wear points  Disclaimer NoticeThe Company offers the details of this vessel in good faith but cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of this information nor warrant the condition of the vessel.
