Broker's Comments
This is an incredible MFV style cruiser built by French & Peel and built to a live aboard spec. She is a solid steel boat that has travelled most of the British coast and a large part of Europe!
The current owners have largely used her as a live aboard and having helped build her they are still always on top of any maintenance work and have kept her in great condition.
The top decks are hugely spacious with great working room as well as potential to be a great entertainment space. The wheel house is very light and airey, great vision all around from the helming position as well as being a comfortable saloon space.
The rest of the boat is incredibly well laid out, more storage space than any other boat I’ve seen of this size and very well thought out. I haven't spotted any damages or defects internally and everything was clean with no smells of damp.
This would be a great live aboard for a small family or couple whilst also being a brilliant long haul cruiser with a proven record!
