Bahama 42 REF#344211

Register with Boatshed to see 87 extra photos of this Bahama 42 .Here we have a now rare FB Wilds Bahama 42. (in the videos I do call it CARIBBEAN 39) These large spacious boats are now getting very few and far between. This particular example benefits from both bow and stern thrusters fitted by her owner of the last 15 years. She has two dedicated sleeping cabins one double and one a twin, two separate heads compartments one with a shower, a large saloon that converts to a large double and also opens on to a large forward well. The aft cabin has been set up as a kind of utility room with a small washing machine and work space and storage but could easily be converted back to a cabin or similar. She has full 240v shorepower system fitted, Warm air diesel heating, large solar panels and an inverter system She has Perkins diesel engine that has been regularly serviced and this started and ran as it should. the galley runs down the starboard side and has a full size cooker large shoreline fridge and storage cupboards. her Boat safety certificate runs to March 2027, and her broads toll is paid. Her mooring could be available to the new owner by agreement with the marina owner. This boat is not perfect and has been improved here and there over the years. however some of this work has been done to an ok standard but to my eye could do with being done a little better. However this all all superficial and cosmetic in nature. To have both bow and stern thrusters is super nice to have on a boat of this size to ensure excellent maneuverability. She also benefits from front and rear canopies and a full set of window covers If you are looking for a large liveaboard boat then this should fit the bill nicely. These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.This Bahama 42 has been personally photographed and viewed by Stephen Biggs of Boatshed Norfolk.

Morgan Giles 30 REF#344260

Register with Boatshed to see 84 extra photos of this Morgan Giles 30 .The Morgan Giles yard was founded in Teignmouth in 1920 and continued for many years building high quality timber racing yachts for prestigious clients (such as Britannia RN College, amongst many others). As GRP construction became popular the yard evolved and the Morgan Giles 30 was originally a one off, for the yard's chief designers own use but up until 1996 over 70 boats had been built. Many of these are happily sailing and there is an active class association (MG30.org.uk) They were built to go to sea, strong and with fine lines and lead ballast in her encapsulated keel for stability. Good deck working access and a safe and secure cockpit make her ideal for short handed cruising (most lines lead aft) and she's wheel steered, unlike many of the designs of this era There are many differing interior layouts, this is a very seamanlike version, not hugely voluminous but everything has a place and she feels a lot bigger than she actually is. She presents well, is clean and fresh and having served her current owners well for the last 15 years she is now ashore and available for easy inspection These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.This Morgan Giles 30 has been personally photographed and viewed by Corinne Gillard of Boatshed IOW.
