Twin engine motor yacht.                                                       Lenght on deck                                              45’ Lwl                                                                 42’ Beam                                                              12’ Draft                                                              3’3” Displacement                                                 11 tonnes.     Designed and built by Osbornes of Littlehampton in 1962.   A semi planing, hard chine hull form with long keel. This hull form presents lower drag and greater stability in a cross sea than a conventional round bilge design. Radiused transom stern with fold-up boarding platform. High freeboard. The vessel carries her beam almost the full length of the hull to give remarkable internal volume for her dimensions. The vessel has a top speed of 12knts, the allure of a gun boat and she really does go. The vessel was owned in Salcombe for some years having been bought on the Isle of Wight and regularly cruised the south coast and Britanny. Sold by Wooden Ships to the present Australian/English ownership in 2006, she had a thorough refit to prepare her for her new very active life. Since then she has cruised along the south coast and up the east coast, across to Holland and Germany and round the western and German Baltic. She then went into the European canal system where she explored extensively for several years before returning to Devon in August 2011 and being laid up ashore for sale. This has been an extraordinarily successful boat in the hands of both the previous and current owners, the boat has always performed perfectly in all weathers at sea and on inland waters. At sea she has a max speed of 12knts and will cruise comfortably at 10knts even in lumpy conditions with 8.5knts as her most economical speed. She has a remarkably gentle, stable motion in open waters and in inland waters has provided an ideal cruising home for long periods. At 1500rpm with both engines she will do 8.5knts with a consumption of 1.5litres per mile per engine. On the inland waters, 1500rpm gives her 6.5knts making
