MIRANDA

A purposeful little ship with a Style intended as a seagoing “Luxe Motor” type but circa 1920-30 with raked conical bow and deep sheer; conical bow provides flare and improves seakeeping; conventional Dutch counter stern; optional off wind rig: Accommodation divided in two sections, main cabins and “crew quarters” (she has been used successfully as a four person hotel ship in mid France for the last 25 years); although shown with three shafts these are optional; single engine in the 100-175hp recommended: copious separate tankage for diesel fuel; fuel oil for heating etc. Water and sewage.
She has a Schilling rudder as standard which provides excellent manoeuvreability even at very low speeds therefore obviates the need for a bow thruster.
