Going aft, there is a good-sized double cabin with double berth to port, hanging locker, seat and other storage and a radiator. Going forward, the galley is to starboard opposite which is the heads. The galley provides a gimballed Flavell Wayfarer cooker (new 1998, 2 burners, grill and oven), worktop, cupboards and sink unit with manually pumped cold water. The heads has a Portapotti toilet, handbasin with manually pumped water, cupboards and a radiator. Immediately forward of this, there is a Refleks gravity fed diesel powered heater. This requires no power to run and produces 1.6kw in addition to which it also heats radiators throughout the boat producing a further 3.4kw.

Interior woodwork is in teak and mahogany, and the upholstery is in blue/grey material. It is understood that headlinings and side panels can all be removed for access to the deck and hull (hull and deck is foam insulated down to the waterline). Access to the engine compartment is from the starboard passageway, port-side single cabin and under the companionway steps.

Remarks

This boat was built by John Read & Son of Happisburgh, a small boatbuilders with an excellent reputation for their vessels. She is clearly greatly loved and her condition (albeit that she is just having her bottom repainted) can only be described as outstanding. A very traditional styled, well-equipped boat that looks to be good value for money.
