    It is with the utmost regret that Pleasance has to be sold.

    I will be putting a full list of her attributes together shortly so feel free to drop me an email and I will forward it soon.

    This attractive vessel has obviously provided much joy to its current owner. If it is seriously for sale, there is likely a buyer out there who will enjoy it as much.  Furthermore, JRA wants this forum to be useful and efficient for both buyers and sellers. Therefore:  (1) Generally this forum requests that sellers post a price, especially more than four months after posting a preliminary placeholder "for sale" notice.  Being coy may waste time.  (2) The Facebook photos are useful but not everybody uses Facebook (if you are not logged into Facebook it eventually demands you do so to see more photos) and one must wade through unrelated photos there. (3) The Facebook page contains zero specs or details about the boat.  After four months with a placeholder notice, if you are still not ready to provide boat specs/details and an asking price, then you may wish to consider removing your ad until you have details in hand and are ready to list it for sale.  Thank you.  -- Webmaster

    hi all

    sorry its taken me a while to get to this, but here's my best effort.

    she is lying at Maryport marina Cumbria.

    she has been back in the water since June after her annual  couple of coats of paint and antifoul.

    she will be lifted onto the hard again soon for surveying.

    she is steel construction to the highest standard and was first launched around 10 years ago.

    she has a ford D series 6 cylinder engine which was marinised by Lancing Marine, this is without doubt one of the most reliable engines you could wish for and never misses a beat.

    she had a full array of all the latest navigation and battery management systems 4 years ago including all raymarine mfd radio hydraulic auto helm and quantum radar.

    she has victron inverter charger and colour battery monitor. 3 banks of batteries. cranking, windlass and leisure.

    she has artificial teak decking to the entire deck side walks and cockpit. professionally fitted.

    she has been professionally fitted out by myself and although I do not fit out boats for a living, I do have a manufacturing company with substantial capabilities. 

    she has done a few years siling in the Irish sea but we will never get the use out of her that she deserves.

    i am very keen now to pass her on to a new chapter in her life and as such i have set the cost accordingly.

    she is realistically worth in the region of £100k but I will accept the best offer over £80k

    if I've forgotten anything please ask.
