The iron keel was wrapped with West system cloth and epoxy to eliminate any future rusting. Then all antifouled using Micron 350 antifouling – the best to avoid future build-up of antifouling. This racing standard underwater hull finish results in optimised hull speed.Mechanical EngineVolvo Penta D1-30 diesel (28hp)Dual circuit cooling and sea water filterVolvo Penta sail drive3 Bladed autoprop – feathering and pitch self-adjustingAmbassador rope stripper 2 bladeEngine hours approx. 2000Spares box includes standard 2 bladed propellor, new sail drive and prop anodes and fuel and oil filters.Recent Maintenance and comments -Professional Service carried out every year since 2008Starter solenoid replaced 2021Exhaust bend, heat exchanger and manifold replaced 2024Alternator overhauled 2024Engine serviced incl oil and filter change - 2024Diesel filters replaced - 2024Sail drive seal replaced - 2024Toilet outlet seacock replaced with composite Tru design - 2026Sail drive anode - replaced 2024.

Autoprop also eliminates prop walk when maneuvering. The 28hp engine is a very significant improvement from the manufacturer’s basic specification 20hp engine, and the autoprop is a further significant improvement for motoring, sailing and motor-sailing. A new autoprop is estimated to cost approx. £3,500.Fuel usage averages 2 to 2.5 litres per hour.Electrical:2X 12V Batteries (Domestic and engine)240V Shore powerCabin lights240V sockets throughout12V DC Socket at switchboard2 X USB charge pointShore power connecting cableWater System Pressurized Hot and Cold water system too galley and heads taps and shower.
