Alan. That sounds about right from memory. The boat is a fair distance from me but if/when I return for another viewing I'll get some photos. Regards Paul

Thanks Alan. I was actually pleasantly surprised with the engine bay space. Two 190 Yanmars on shafts with filters and sea cocks accessible and I could stand between the two. As always its the skippers call on sea and weather conditions so I will remain optimistic !! Many thanks and best wishes Paul

Thanks Smoggy She has two 190 Yanmars on shafts. Mixed feelings at the moment but im still optimistic, after all its always the skippers call after weather forecasts, sea states etc Its my knees that will have the biggest say ! Regards Paul

Hi everyone. Im currently looking at a lovely twin engined Birchwood 340 AC (2001) to use as a live aboard for coastal use, coast hopping and beats across the Channel , Channel Islands etc. Has anyone experienced these boats at sea? I can't find a review anywhere. With 50 years sailing experience my knees have dictated a change and this boat ticks all my boxes as a live aboard. I assume she is Ocean cat B, but I don't do the very rough stuff anymore. Regards Xmatelot
