I've watched this one and been on it many times. Because it is painted, I was interested in how well the paint holds up, but I can tell you, it has held up incredibly well. I believe my friend put an articulating rudder on her, but the specs would tell.

I think the issue is that few people are interested in such a size.
It is a wonderful boat and I would love to own it.
It would be a real shame to see such a boat going to scrap.

I guess he is willing to captain the boat back??? He has a lot of knowledge both on the boat and also he years at sea.
No problem getting up a crew from here. Just chain us to our oars.
Of course, the price of the stores might be a bit expensive.... Donation any one?
LOL
The price of the fuel..... That might be the greatest expense. More donations?
Pay for the ride the abuse. LOL

LOL!! What I know of you Murray, I can well vision the look on your face!! Heck, I would be there with a equal drool expression. That is a perfect cruiser for our parts of the world, no doubt. I bet you couldn't wait to post the photo.
Thanks for sharing.

Yup, purpose built for our coast
While admiring it again today it dawned on me that there's another thing I like about this boat; it appears to be have been designed from the outside in rather than from the inside out. Meaning, it was designed first and foremost to handle 95% of what this coast can throw at it, then the interior was made to fit the hull and cabin shape, rather than the other way around...that and no * bling*

Greetings,
Mr. b2. "I bet she'd make it across the Pacific." Looks to me like she'd have fairly low freeboard. I wouldn't want to be caught out in any serious seas. PLUS where does one get parts for an Atlas Imperial engine?

Freeboard and engine spares, both good points. It appears she drains well so freeboard may not be an issue. The engine I didn't take into account as I was primarily focused on her lower hull. It seems like a shape for a long range well offshore cruiser.

I bet she'd roll the cream out of my coffee. Very stately though.
