HISTORY & DESCRIPTION:
The Weymouth 32 Class Motor Cruisers were designed by John Askham of TT Design and Nelson fame, moulded by Halmatic and fitted out by James & Caddy. White GRP hull (laid up to heavy commercial standards of the time) with refurbished and repainted topsides in International Toplac and copper coated beneath the waterline in 2015/6. Epoxy sheathed wooden superstructure and coachroof fully refurbished in 2015/6. All external teak taken back to bare wood and refinished with six coats of Coelan wood coating. Stainless steel safety rails and guard wires. Alloy framed windows.
The current owner of Demelza had planned on extensive coastal and river cruising and undertook a very thorough refit to prepare her for this. Due to a change in circumstances, these plans have now changed, allowing her next owner to benefit from these works. Her refit included thorough inspection and upgrading of the plumbing, wiring and electrical systems together with a new fridge, cooker, battery charger, hydraulic autopilot, electronics package, central heating system and cockpit enclosure. Much of her varnish was refinished, new upholstery fitted throughout and many, many other upgrades and improvements carried out. Most importantly, she was mechanically overhauled to a very high standard and should provide many years of reliable service.
Accommodation:
The Weymouth 32 layout offers three berths in two cabins including the wheelhouse saloon, with approximately 6’1″ maximum headroom.
FORECABIN – Fitted with a V berth (an infill to form a double berth could easily be created) with stowage beneath, storage lockers and opening hatch to foredeck.
GALLEY – U-shaped galley to port equipped with a Plastimo 2-burner gas cooker (new 2016) with grill and oven, stainless steel sink, 12v fridge (new 2016) and good stowage.
HEADS – Separate heads compartment to starboard fitted with a marine toilet with holding tank, washbasin and storage lockers. A shower could easily be added if required.
DECK SALOON – Helm position to port providing excellent visibility with a navigator position to starboard. L-shaped seating area to starboard (currently could be used as a single berth or easily adapted to convert to a double) with teak table and further seating area opposite.
Pressurised hot and cold water system via a calorifier. MV Airo 5kw diesel fired warm air heating system. Teak cabinetry throughout with carpets, cotton upholstery (new and still wrapped) and complimenting curtains.
The large aft cockpit has been fitted with a full-width aft bench seat with cushions and storage lockers. A teak bathing platform is accessed via the fixed stainless steel central ladder.
