I cannot fasult his as a Thames residential cruiser, it ticks all the boxes at a sensible price.

Engine(s)

Twin Volvo 255hp TAMD 60c's, regularly maintained by previous owners, and fully checked andruthlessly maintained since by current owner, who is a marine engineer with very high standards. Flexible fuel hoses replaced, 6 state of the art deep cycle gel batteries fitted, (Hawker,as used on nuclear subs), charged through 3 bank charger. Inverter fitted, with crossover switch. The engines are in tip top condition, and start on the button, economical to run for gentle cruising on the upper Thames, but plenty of grunt when the turbos kick in below Tower Bridge.


The extensive survey done 2 years ago passed the hull as A1, no osmosis, no chips, Princess are the Rolls Royce of boat builders, and Djinskiia is testement to the quality product Marine Projects turn out.

The only recommendation from the surveyer in 2008 was to double up on the hose clip on the forward heads.



Large full width back cabin, with island bed and seperate shower and toilet en suite. Upper lounge area has L shaped fitted settee, with drinks fridge and lit glass cabinets opposite. Lockers and drawers give loads of storage space. Large internel helm, chart table and electronics. Lower kitchen level with domestic size fridge, double sink, 4 burner hob, Smev oven. Lounge/diner opposite seats 6 round table. Forward double cabin, giant vee berths with infil, en suite shower/toilet. Showers are supplied with ample hot water by the large engine or 240v calorifier.

This boat is ideal for staying aboard, and guests have a dedicated en suite cabin, and for the occasional 'extras' overnighting, the saloon and dinette tables convert into 2 more doubles. New carpets fitted winter 2008.

Come the BBQ season, Djinskia comes into her own, with a large back deck for entertaining, connected by a moulded in stair to the flybridge, great for all round veiwing underway or moored up. A large fordeck gives even more space for entertaining or catching a few rays!



GPS, electric anchor windlass, aluminium gangway, 4m rib style inflatable, 2.3 Honda outboard. New ropes, rope hooks, bimini sun hoods in 'Sunbrella' on both flybridge and back deck. Emergency life raft, (needs a service to be in date). Flybridge and saloon windows have bespoke PVC covers.



Full electronic navigation fitted, although the radar has been removed in preparation for fitting one of the new low cost digital radar sets. Auto pilot, GPS, VHF sets and complete engine readouts fitted.

2008 Fire extinguishers throughout, auto system in engine bays. Bilge pumps, manual and electric.

MOORINGS
Most residential marinas in our area have secure accessible pontoons, mains water at a charge of £2.50 per week and mains electricity at normal cost per unit with a separate meter to each vessel. BT provide the telephone connections at their usual rates and Broadband is also available. We have often noted that there are children and there are animals. BUT there are no problems with children and there are no problems with animals. A well-laid out car-park includes allocated spaces for each boat and adequate extra spaces for visitors. Post is addressed to you at the Marina and collected at the office. There are adequate clean wheeled bins, emptied regularly by the council. 24 hour CCTV operates and the car-ways and walk-ways are well-lit. · Moorings fees are usually £1.10 per foot length of boat per week, paid four-weekly in advance. · Council Tax is Band A the cheapest Band and in Medway this is only £792 a year. If you are on your own, with single persons discount, this is only £594 for the full year.

Continuity of Moorings

Usually we find that a boat sold on any mooring will be able to stay by arrangement between the new owner and the Marina,subject to references and approval. But, for the buyer, it is always your responsibility to introduce yourself and confirm all arrangements, including those above, prior to purchase


All vessels are offered and all deposits accepted subject to the standard terms and conditions of the C.B.S.Y.B. (Certified Bonded Ship and Yacht Brokers www.CBSYB.com)

While boats are usually able to remain on their existing mooring, it is the reponsibility of buyers to approach the mooring owner and establish what mooring is available to them for that boat (references may be required)prior to entering into a binding contract.
