Broker's Comments
This large ex Royal Navy tender has been converted to a comfortable live aboard boat. Subject to tenure, the mooring may be available.
The new deck saloon provides a light and airy living area allowing the original hull space for cabins and heads.
In addition to the hull renovation and conversion to a live aboard, the mechanical parts are in order and with the addition of some navigation equipment, there seems no reason why this boat could not be made ready to go to sea again.
Currently lying in Falmouth.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
