Broker's Comments
An outstanding example of the classic "Light" class built by Herbert Woods.
Painstakingly restored over a period of 6 years the current owner has spared no expense whatsoever in bringing this boat to her present condition which has to be seen to be believed.
She is the "Ultimate" liveaboard or show-piece and I doubt I can do her justice in this write up.
However amongst the luxuries on board there are;
10kw Webasto diesel fired central heating which feeds the 9 radiators. (Only ever run on white diesel)
There is a large (30 galls) hot water cylinder
Macerator and diverter valve to the heads which is located in the forepeak.
240v Inverter
Battery Management system
Leather upholstery
Full size double oven cooker
Hydraulic Steering
Engine has had new cyl head and main bearings etc
New stern gear
Stainless steel shower tray which gravity feeds to a receiver tank and then pumped overboard
This is by far and away the finest example of this type of boat you are likely to find.
Full 4 year BSC
