Description

She has been regularly maintained having recently had her underwater hull blasted and repaired as necessary, centreplate removed and epoxy coated, new companionway hatch and new bow sprit. She also had a comprehensive refit back in 2015 including a new deck and coachroof, and benefits from an excellent suit of sails and a Yanmar 1GM10 diesel inboard engine. "Woodmouse" is currently afloat for inspection at Burnham Yacht Harbour.

In 2015 a comprehensive 'back to bare' refit was undertaken including replacement of the deck and coachroof.
