Register with Boatshed to see 97 extra photos of this Dufour 40 Performance .A lovely example of this sought after cruising yacht. Sadly she is being sold due to the owners health but as the first and only owner she has been extremely well maintained and looked after, even down to bringing her ashore and scraping all of the antifoul off so she is clean and dry at the beginning of every season. Being over 12 meters LOA she has an enormous amount of interior space, including a large saloon, 3 separate double cabins, a large galley area, a large U shaped saloon and 2 separate heads, both with showers. She comes with a decent sail locker with the main being replaced in 2018 and the foresail replaced in 2017. The engine has been well maintained, serviced and winterised every year.

Register with Boatshed to see 61 extra photos of this Passenger Vessel Day Cruiser .This boat has a rich history, which I have briefly outlined below. Proving to be very robust, operating as a passenger tour boat on the sea, also ideally suited for inland waterways, remembering that she was originally designed to be beached. Offering indoor covered seating and outdoor seating proving to be very versatile for the UK weather. There are toilets, drinks and snacks provisions, affording wide panoramic views inside and out. Boat operating licences are up to date, with a full maintenance record and engine servicing. The engines ran well for the engine video. Construction and Early Operation (1921 1958): Built in 1921 at Haywards Boatyard, Southend, and launched by Crane for the Southend Corporation loading Jetty. Originally launched as "Britannia"; later referred to as "Britannia 1" in recognition of the royal yacht participating in the 1921 Southend regatta under King George V. Operated by Charles and Arthur Myall from Southend beach, with a sister ship, 'Julia Freak', serving a different organization. The Myall brothers expanded their fleet with a second vessel, "Southsea Britannia," leading to the distinction of "little Britannia" and "big Britannia." Requisitioned by the Royal Navy during WWII on May 27, 1940, for operations at Dunkirk and later served as an inshore minesweeper. Returned to Myall brothers post-WWII and resumed passenger services until 1958. Subsequent Ownership and Modifications (1958 2018): Sold to The Thames Motorboat Company, renamed "Thames Britannia," with significant modifications including an enclosed bridge and covered stern deck. Further sold to Plymouth Boat Cruises and renamed "Plymouth Princess," receiving extensive alterations such as a new superstructure, enclosed saloon, and upper deck, likely completed at Mashfords Boatyard. Additional modifications occurred from 2005 to 2007, including installation of restrooms and relocation of access points. Continued renovations were made from 2013 to 2018 to improve seating and life raft arrangements. Current Status (2018 Present): Currently operates on the Forth for boat tours, continuing its legacy as a historical passenger vessel through various adaptations and ownership changes. This overview highlights the rich history and evolution of the boat, emphasizing its significance in maritime service and the changes it has undergone to meet operational demands over the decades.
