Here we have a Riveted Steel Dutch Style Cruiser of an unkonwn builder. According to the BSS database, the boat was built in 1936, although the current steel superstructure is significantly more modern than this. Measured at approxamitely 9.8m x 2.7m, the vessel has a flat bottomed displacment hull, with a stell keel of approx. 15in in depth and and 24in in depth towards the bow.

Upon removal, there was a significant amount of general detritus, but this has since been disposed of, entirely clearing out the internal accommodation space.

The engine space contains a 2-cylinder diesel engine, reported on the BSS database to be marinised by Drinkwaard, coupled to a Hurth mechanical gearbox.

The foredeck has a suitcase-type petrol generator, and a hatch on the deck which opens into a storage locker.

The broker is available on Wednesday mornings for calls and email responses, then in the afternoon for viewings by appointment at the yard. We can also offer Saturday morning viewings by appointment.

When these boats are removed from the canals, we receive nothing other than a sparsely populated 'valuation report' on the vessel. As a result, please note that we cannot guarantee the condition of the engine, gearbox, or indeed the hull of the vessel. Having said that, the vessel was recovered from the water when floating and has been stored on hard standing since, so we have no reason to believe that the hull may be compromised. We encourage any buyer to conduct a survey on the boat, should they have any reservations. The boat is being sold as seen.

If interested in Avbot, we encourage you to come and view the boat for yourself ashore at our secure boat yard in the outskirts of Chester. We hold viewings Monday-Friday during normal working hours, and by arrangement only. Please get in touch on 01244 344267 if you have any questions.

Please note that the listed postcode is that of our offices and NOT of the boatyard.
