Springsong Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Star Premier. She was built in the winter of 1958/9 for the Earls Court Boat Show. She was on the Blakes stand She is a centre cockpit round bilge Broads cruiser of Length 34’6” Beam 10’ Berths 4 She has her original Parsons Pike engine and original Parsons Gearbox. The engine is a Ford D series 2.7 litre 4 cylinder I believe of 57 HP marinized by Parsons. Over the seven years we have spent working on her with much help from good friends and professional boat builders much of the fabric of the boat has been repaired or replace. Most of the rear 10’ of the boat is new including both rear bulkheads the outer transom and much of the rear frame work all the lockers in the rear cockpit, the galley is all new As are both the front and rear cabin roofs which have 2 layers of ply with cloth and epoxy finish and 2 coats of 2 pack paint The iconic wind down bus / coach windows, against many peoples advice have been retained. She has been completely rewired with both the 12 volt and the 240 volt systems having new fused systems. An inverter of 3kw with a 6kw overload capability has been fitted. A Mikuni boiler with 3 matrixes heating the cabins and a calorifier of 30 litres with an emersion heater of 1 kW as a backup. We have a Jabsco electric head to starboard forward and to Port a shower which has its own pump and is evacuated to its own sump and bilge pump. She has two bilge pumps a forward 500g/hr. and aft a 1500g/hr. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 That's more like it Barry. Looking forward to being invited onboard whilst she is afloat for a change! And of course we really do need to have a couple of hours if not more cruising in company. Happy days ahead then, Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 And of course we really do need to have a couple of hours if not more cruising in company.

Springsong Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I too am looking forward to that Griff and in the not too distant future. Of course the first time I see you you will be invited aboard to be given the guided tour. I believe Iain without wishing to sound any trumpets you maybe right.
