This looks pretty, once owned by Alan Titchmarsh. Dos that mean it is discounted?

Interesting concept and coupling the hulls together much closer than the original design and installing an electric drive ...... Hmmmmmmmm !!! not for me though ....... needs someone young and mad

It's good to see that it has a rechargeable electric drive. Yep just buy a new toy, after all it is rechargeable electric.
Ignore the fact that half a rain forest got cut down creating it...
I just thought it was handy that it was rechargeable rather than alkaline.

As for fenders they are like railway embankments. Vegetation helps.

The good points: it's cheap. The bad points: the mast and boom are knackered. The seller suggests repair but there is no fixing that. It may be possible to fit a mast from another class, which is interesting because you'll be lucky to find a like-for-like replacement. Also the Lake District is a fair jog. I saw one of these in tip-top condition go for £500 a little while back. Rusty69 has gone? I don't blame him.

Yes I had a look at that too and agree.

It says that it has a sea toilet, how have they got away with that. Otherwise looks nice.

I would hazard a guess that one could declare chemical toilet on the license application.
I'm not quite sure if the boat safety person logs a sea toilet or not.

Agreed, . . a very attractive little ship, but with that hull form - a single chine double-ender - and at only 25' long, there's no way she would achieve the claimed maximum speed of 9 knots. A more realistic figure would be up to an absolute maximum of around 7 knots, . . and that would be with a good bit more than the stated 26 bhp, . . and a stern wave equal to or even bigger than the bow wave.
