RARE Twin Cabin Hancock & Lane ex-bwb workboat (project).Much admired by those who are familiar with workboats, “Lydiate” was one of only 3 vessels of her kind made for BWB by the highly reputable Hancock & Lane. Engine: Lister SR2 Diesel – Notorious for their reliability – it never fails!Air Cooled. Hydraulic Gearbox. Spacious engine bay for easy access.40ft x 6’7 All Steel Hull with her two original steel cabins. Wooden (with insulation) mid-cabin connecting the two steel cabins creates one large living space (or 4 ‘rooms’ when divided). Solid timber flooring. Hull: Blacked and area of overplating completed November 2016.Electrics: 1 Starter and 1 Leisure Battery. New Leisure battery August 2022.New Bilge pump fitted in engine bay + ‘Whale Gulper’ water pump (to empty bath) + electric panel all fitted by Springfield Marina in July 2019. Currently the only lighting wired in is the navigation headlight so its very easy for new owner- even a novice – to design their own lighting and electrics using the easily accessible electric panel – great opportunity to learn and practice your own electric installation with no previous experience needed (we can wire in a couple of lights to get you started if desired).Heating: ‘Hobbit’ Multi-fuel stove/wood burnerThe wooden cabin section of the boat needs rebuilding – a great opportunity for someone to design their own unique living space – either from wood or steel.The stern gland needs attention. We have absolutely loved living on ‘Lydiate’ for over 6 years – she’s such a character and an amazing opportunity to be creative and flexible with how you set up your space – we’ve had 3 different layouts in the time we’ve lived on her… Expanding from a couple to a family of four. It is with heavy hearts we are selling this brilliant boat and only due to our 2 children growing.
