Description
Premier Houseboats are pleased to present an exciting opportunity to own a piece of history. This vessel, used for many years by the Norwegian armed forces, has been a real labour of love for its current owner. The boat has been regularly taken out of the water as can be seen in the photographs, indeed she is currently on the hard standing for annual maintenance. All work done to a high professional standard by the current owner who is a professional in this field, making her the boat she is today. She handles well in all weathers, and has been sailed extensively by the current owner. Comfortable to be onboard, whether at sea or moored, with all the fittings you need to spend time on her. A stunning example of her kind.
