She was sold out of trade into private ownership with a Danish family in 1964 and converted for pleasure use. A fire in 1984 resulted in some major rebuilding to the great benefit of the vessel and the present internal GA dates from this rebuild. She passed into UK ownership in 2004 and has operated as a family-run charter vessel offering holidays afloat and sail training. A rewarding experience for everyone who has participated over the years and a wonderful life-style for her owners.
