Engines

This vessel is now designed as a Liveaboard and not really designed for moving around anymore. If you do wish to move it then it has an almost new Scania V8 diesel engine which has around 400BHP to let you take it where you wish. There is also a separate generator for driving the 24 volt generator to recharge the batteries.

There is at the time of writing over 1000 gallons of diesel on board as well.

Construction

This little coaster was built in 1971 as a cargo vessel and is fully fitted and still working. Being made of steel it was manufactured to last. It is sad to see so many of these vessels now being converted, but a joy when the owners take care of them like this one. Now converted to Liveaboard status it still has the potential for you to make your impression on it for the way you wish to live on board.

Accomodation

This vessel has existing compact and comfortable crews quarters and a huge hold which can be converted to give another 2,500 - 5,000 sq. ft of living accommodation. It comes with an outer berth with superb views over the River Medway in a friendly and safe marina, with on-site parking. It has an onboard 24 volt power supply plus 240 volt shore power. Mooring fees are £500 per month including water and she is exempt from community charge. No planning permission or building regulations apply to conversion. Do as you please!

Access to the vessel is approached along a sturdy pier and up a new aluminium gangway.

This vessel offers the following existing accommodation. Please note that the 'rooms' are irregular in shape and therefore all dimensions are approximate.

Entrance Hatchway 10' x 2.6' from on-deck hatchway down a safe stairway.

Double Cabin 8' x 6' with double bunk beds and porthole – currently used for storage only. Two storage cupboards, two large under bunk drawers and additional storage area.

Galley/Dining Area 13' x 8' with sink, fridge, Calor gas stove, dining area with table seating for 4, storage cupboards and shelves. With three portholes this is a cosy, friendly and popular area for cooking, eating, socialising and relaxing.

Single Cabin 1 7' x 6' with comfortable bunk bed and porthole with superb view make this an unusual and exceptional place to sleep. With two large storage drawers, additional space beneath bunk, a wardrobe and bookshelf this is a compact but surprisingly efficient living space.

Single Cabin 2 7' x 6' as above. These two cabins could easily be converted into one double cabin.

Engine Room Down a ladder and into the engine room with an almost new 400HP SCANIA V8 diesel engine in perfect condition. Plus a separate engine to drive the 24 volt generator should there be a long power cut (the batteries will drive the 24 volt system for at least 24 hours) or you decide to go to sea. There's also a solid workbench and almost 1000 gallons of diesel in the tanks.

Bridge/Sitting Room 14' x 6' and located up a solid and safe ships ladder. Magnificent views over the river. With original compass, radio, radar, wheel, flag box and flags, chart table, all engine controls and much more this is a magical area to sit in winter or summer. Direct access to the afterdeck.

Hold 100' x 25' with shallow floor and easily convertible to one or two storey accommodation – just let your imagination run riot and do as you please.

Bosuns Locker/Workshop
Located under the foredeck is the bosuns locker which is ideal for use as a workshop. It has workbenches, a solid vice, storage shelves, chain and rope lockers. On top of all that there is a foredeck with views over the yachting marina and an anchor winch driven by a Lister diesel engine to raise and lower the two anchors. Plus an afterdeck for barbeques, a drink and to view the sunset.

This is a different type of living for the free thinking and adventurous who want to have a unique living style within an hours drive of the centre of London. You can use it as a weekend retreat, holiday home or full time home. Fully converted it will offer loads of fascinating living space. Or create that second apartment and rent it out to cover all annual costs.
