Thistledown is a beautifully presented boat that is ready to cruise. She can be used for living aboard or for leisure. 

Mid Cabin, Entered through the sliding side door, this central space houses the 1957 1.8L Mercedes engine and the boat’s main steering position with wheel control.

Rear Cabin / Snug, To the stern of the mid cabin, this cosy area is ideal for lounging and can be adapted to provide additional berths if needed.

Forward Cabin / Galley, Accessed via another sliding door, this bright and well-laid-out space makes excellent use of natural light. On the port side, a fixed seating area sits above the boat’s electrical system, allowing for easy access. A pivoting table adds flexibility, whether you're dining, working, or simply enjoying the view through the large windows.

The galley, on the starboard side, is finished to a high standard, in line with the rest of the boat. It features a solid oak worktop with an inlaid stainless steel sink that runs the length of the space. Below are two cupboards, a drawer unit, and a 12v fridge with a freezer compartment. A freestanding oven with a four-burner hob breaks the countertop run, with open space beside it.

Shower / Wet Room, Forward of the seating area on the port side, this compact but well-finished wet room includes a low-profile square shower tray, Thetford cassette toilet, mixer shower, and a corner hand basin.

Bedroom, At the bow is a spacious, enclosed bed offering comfort and privacy. Shelving sits on both sides, with hanging storage at the foot. A roof hatch with remote controlled fan helps keep the space cool and ventilated.

Exterior, The exterior paintwork is in good condition. The rear deck serves as the secondary steering position, operated via a traditional tiller. The gas bay is also located at the stern.
