Two toilets and bath, fully fitted galley with modern appliances. Boat to be sold complete with all fittings, plates and glasses for entertaining up to 14 people and, yes, we have photos to prove it!

Mistress Elizabeth (previously Hadley Star)
1965 built 40' Bates Star Craft requiring full renovation
Here we have for sale 'Mistress Elizabeth' (ex 'Hadley Star'), a 40' 1965 built Bates Star Craft. She is in something of a sorry state now requiring comprehensive renovation but offering the potential of a wonderful river / sea going boat (she was the Sun Seeker of her day!). We understand she still retains her original Perkins HT 6.354 twin turbo charged engines. To show her potential why not have a look at Louis Phillipe featured (but not for sale!) at the top of this page. She is also 40' and her keel was laid at a similar time to Hadley Star (the original name).
Further photos are available on request.
She is currently moored on the Wareham river in Dorset.
For further information contact the owner's representative, Alan Sillwood: 07885 146746
