If you have a love of maritime history but don't have the time to read about it...we submit for your attention "Senorita". Instead of living vicariously through the exploits of others - at hand is the opportunity to become part of living history in the form of one of the most sturdily built and handsome sailing vessels around. For the last 8 years the current owner has committed blood, sweat, and money into her ongoing restoration realizing that he is a temporary custodian of history. She was built by the world famous shipbuilding firm Philip & Son who have designed many of the most important and varied vessels in the UK for nearly 2 centuries. The inspiration for many of the design elements aboard Senorita came from no less an authority than Claud Worth - one of the fathers of modern yacht cruising and possibly the greatest yachtsmen of his day who commissioned the same yard for Tern IV the famous and essential twin to Senorita. Senorita is listed on the UK Official Register of Historic Vessels. There is no mistaking the calibre of build which will become immediately obvious to the discriminating eye. She is in excellent mechanical and structural order and ready to move to her next homeport to continue her continuing refit. The owner may have access to a mizzen mast. It is not stepped presently. Words do not do justice to the existing - let alone - potential for this vessel and serious lovers of fine wooden craft should make time to see her. Please call ahead to make an appointment. Your desitiny awaits.

There is a sink conveniently near the master berth that just needs plumbing. A heat pump and bulkhead mounted vented oil heater offer a climate controlled and inviting space for time aboard regardless of season. Abundant raised panel cabinets and assorted storage spaces make it comfortable as a liveaboard. Light and ventilation is provided by a large butterfly hatch above. Moving forward through the solid wood doorway - you enter the companionway landing area. To starboard is the commodius head compartment which has a large porcelain sink with classic fixtures, msd, and very large and comfortable stall shower. As throughout the boat - there is nice storage in the form of a medicine cabinet as well as locker and shelf space. Once again - this layout mates well with extended time aboard. Immediately on crossing the threshold forward into the main salon you step through the Stargate back into the early 20th century with era appropriate furnishings too numerous to catalogue collectively enhancing the stout and salty vessel itself. There is a comfortable settee to port ringed above with impressive bookshelf and storage space. To starboard is an large sofa with dining table in the center close to the rustic heft of the massive mainmast timber. Once again the space is bathed in warming natural light through the impressively designed butterfly hatch. Fully functional as well as aesthetically inviting is a Morso coal/wood freestanding iron stove. Forward again is the galley and forward storage locker described more fully below.Galley The galley is forward and offers nearly all the comforts of home. The warm wood sole offers an inviting space for meal preparation. It includes a large sink with substantial hot and cold pressure water fixtures in addition to a traditional bronze manual pump recessed into a butcher block countertop with ample space. Cabinetry and thus storage is abundant and very traditional and comfortable in a country kitchen style on the starboard side and to port there are impressive leaded glass built in cabinets as well. There is a large four burner propane stove with oven/broiler on the transverse bulkhead and for quick meals there is a microwave oven. Finally there is a 110v refrigerator.Navigation and Electronics Navigational systems are basic and as follows: VHF radio Compass Depth sounder Mechanical and Deck Equipment The hallmark feature and most important element of note is that this vessel was constructed using the most valuable and durable materials of its time and has had competent upgrading in the intervening years.
