Broker Remarks

Listed and photographed by Christian Harris of Network Yacht Brokers Conwy. Never judge a boat by its age, as this restoration shows. First impressions can be deceptive, especially when it comes to classic boats. When I first admired the old fashioned lines of this newly restored motor cruiser, I wasn’t expecting to find an immaculate motor cruiser complete with all the latest equipment. The owner has spent the last 24 months and approximately 1600 hours renovating this boat back to A1 condition. Everything about Morwen is original and nothing has been changed. All parts of the boat have been cleaned and painted, and even the engine has had a brand new gleaming coat of paint.  “Morwen “(meaning White Sea in Welsh) has been transformed back into an immaculate motor cruiser with completely original fittings.” Her current owner actually watched her being built in 1965 at James Cross fields LTD in Conwy. One of the last wooden boats designed and built at their yard, “Morwen” registered No 308319 at Beaumaris, was described “as a sea kindly boat for cruising or fishing from a large safe, open cockpit with twin diesel engines, giving peace of mind at Sea”. The boat also has the original Blue registration book from 1965 showing her build date. For the owner the restoration project has been of Historical value to the area as well as an all consuming hobby. "Morwen" has spent all her life in Conwy apart from a brief period in the Isle of Man. The Hull is a displacement hull with oak frames copper fastened. The decks are teak planked laid on marine ply with Oak frames. Cabin sides and interior are three quarter inch thick mahogany. Portholes and forward escape hatch are brass with heavy chrome finish. The coach roof is pine planked on Oak frames. The cockpit boasts all teak flooring and two folding pilot seats, fitted seating and cupboards. There is an aft cockpit with an open wheel house, with folding saloon doors leading into the saloon.
