Condition Survey - August 2009.
Built originally as a motor yacht, the rig was added in the 1980's by
her second owner, who also re-engined her with the current engine.
"Marshira"
should still be regarded as a motor yacht, but when time, weather,
inclination and crew allow the sails add an extra dimension to cruising.
"Marshira" could be described as being on the better side of a re-fit -
by this we mean she is considered to be fundamentally sound (as the 2009
condition survey suggests), benefiting from much recent refurbishment
work, getting her to a standard which can be used and enjoyed as opposed
to a piece of furniture too good to go in the water. A new owner could,
we believe, quite quickly get her into commission and ready for sea,
although there is scope for further modernisation and refurbishment.
Her layout is as follows;
Wheelhouse / Deck Saloon
Entering into the deck saloon from the portside sliding door we find the
helm position. Along with the helm controls, steering compass and engine
instrumentation there is a basic GPS and VHF Radio.
To starboard a refrigerator is encased into the wheelhouse panelling.
Looking aft from this point, to the starboard side is a modest dining
area with seating and table for 2. Opposite this to port is a long
settee/single berth.
The deck saloon benefits from recent upholstery pieces.
The engine compartment is accessed through a lifting floor panel
Aft Cabin
A small flight of steps from the deck saloon leads into the aft cabin.
Here 2 single quarter berths are found, port and starboard. These are
original to the boat. The present owner has built into this cabin a fold
down double berth, which stows when not in use - and effectively means
this one cabin can sleep 4.
Galley
Forward of the helm position (to the portside), down a small flight of
steps is the galley comprising sink, larder stowage and 2 burner cooker
with oven.
Heads
To starboard, facing the galley is the separate heads compartment
incorporating sea toilet and wash hand basin.
Forecabin
Features a single berth which pulls out to make a 3/4 berth. Wardrobe
space and built in seat. This cabin has not had any refurbishment.
