Entering from the stern into the boatman’s cabin complete with a prestige log burner stove and ample storage. Following this, you enter the engine room. Propulsion is provided by a 1953 Kelvin J3 33hp, 3 cylinder diesel engine with matching period Kelvin gearbox with 1: 1 reduction, turning the propeller. The engine powers a 12/24v dynamo to charge the 2 starter batteries and the 2 leisure batteries onboard. There are two large side hatches also in the engine room.
