WOODEN DOUBLE- ENDER FOR SALE IN KINGS LYNN

0.60

 

Beta Marine 16

 

 

Freyja is a strikingly good looking double ended clinker built boat, age unknown (but possible 60s/70s), larch planking on oak frames. I bought her some years ago as an empty hull, apart from an old 8hp Yanmar engine; it appeared that she had a sail at some point.
I spent 5 years getting her to a usable condition, replacing 3 planks, adding a new mast with a balanced lug rig, 16hp Beta Marine diesel engine (2006 model still with under 500hrs use, although the hour meter doesn't work, so you will have to take my word on that). The engine is serviced each year with new filters, impellors etc. Recent new starter motor and alternator. 25 litre plastic fuel tank,
She has 2 Rule automatic bilge pumps and a manual pump - she still makes a little water even when taken up, but I have a solar panel to keep the battery charged and have never had a problem.
The hull could do with some attention - she could be put straight back into the water, but would benefit from some work, as there are a few splits in the planking.
Comes complete with drying legs, anchor, solar panel and 4 wheel un-braked trailer.
I'm selling because I don't have the time to invest in keeping her in tip-top shape, and would rather she went to someone who will continue the good work to keep her serviceable.
