Remarks
Work is required to the hull, superstructure and engines.
The boat was out of the water on 12 February 2025 to have the hull cleaned / water blasted. The clean identified that the hull is in need of painting, and there are areas where the paint is missing, and sign of wood worm. (Photos available)
A Pre-purchase inspection of the engines in February 2025 by a Marine Engineer identified a leaking injector for the port engine. (Inspection Report available)
A partial survey of the superstructure by a Marine Surveyor on 4 June 2025 identified several areas where rot was visibly present, or timber was soft. (Photos available)
