Interior

AIR draught

I am often asked so here it all is!

Hope you can make that out, so arch folds down.. easily.. then middle of screen is next highest point at 3.32m above water level when sat lightly loaded in salt water

then if you remove screws ( self tappers from screen 0 you can drop it to 3.10m which is basically the height of the side stainless rails, and those rails are 2.13m apart

critical when looking at tight arched bridges..on canals. you might be able to load the hull down some with water in bilges, but probably only reduce by 2 cm AT MOST..

and she will float slightly lower in fresh water anyway..

(after that you have to take a run up  at 20 Knots  and make the boat bridge shape!! ! JOKE)

 

side rails as mentioned above, You can see the seat back and plotter in bracket might have to come off, then these rails are next difficult height to reduce without cutting Stainless work, and very shortly afterwards the GRP dash is only 1 cm or so lower anyway..( on centerline)

Aft end, note drop down swim ladder and ladder up to aft deck,

Extending arm Whittall davits hold an Avon 2.8 Rib , and a Suzuki 2.5hp (2006) INCLUDED!

You can see the custom cover also included. The liferafts are on a hire contract at £600 including a good "grab bag "

History Had preventative epoxy osmosis treatment back in 2006, She has been in her current ownership for just a few years, and has been VEWRY well mi=aintained during that time. She has a school boat in her last ownership and has been very well maintained during that period as well. We have seen good evidence of Chain of title and decent evidence of VAT payment. she was previously part one registered, but that has recently lapsed...
Broker's Comments Great all round cruising boats with easy handling, and amazing accommodation at her length, The Ts 37 was one of Birchwood's best boats, and still take some beating at her Price, This one is well equipped, and appears in very straight smart order, Do watch the VIDEOWALKS for a general look around her, Exterior ;https://youtu.be/RaOLOKKCLMQ    and Interior; https://youtu.be/byXeuqrTDIQ
