Built in Cornwall England of larch on oak frames with a 5cm larch deck. The vessel did have a significant refit in 1993. There are two separate accommodation areas that suits as a B&B business as the current owners do. Total accommodation is for 8 people, 3 in the guest area and 5 in the main accommodation area.
