Additional Information:

Gutted to see her go, but the she needs someone who has the time and skill to dedicate to look after her properly; that person, sadly, is not me... Have had a lot of fun with her, but do not have the time to do the work justice, and with a little effort she'd be amazing as a live-aboard, or back out to sea as a solid fishing boat.

Good bits! She was made of oak and larch, in 1956, by James Noble and Sons of Fraserburgh; a real piece of maritime history! 10.5 meters by 4 meters, working Gardner 180 6lxb engine, 22ton of ballast with a 1.9m draft (solid as a solid thing!). 2x VHF radios (just in case) Radar, and GPS with c-maps for Melrose to Hull. New plugs put in the wheelhouse so there's electrics up there as well. Gas boiler, with two bottles, 12 life jackets in the hold behind the heads, and current setup below deck is 4 berths in the main area, and two separate births.

Bad bits- some woodwork needed; a couple of planks on the deck but nothing major. It has a few electrical issues. Not sure what it is, because I hate electrics... There's plugs in the hold, but they keep shorting out the fusebox. Have patched the exhaust but it'll need a new one at some point, and all the usual stuff you'd expect from old wooden boats. There's new packing in the stern gland, but it's a bit too big as it was an emergency patch. I have the right size now, and if I have the time I'll get it in before it's sold.
