BlooMarine's new boat.

The boat is called Grebe and is a modified version of Alan Buchanan's Yachting Monthly Three Tonner built by Wyatts of Mersea in 1955. Grebe has a draught of 3 feet, overall length of 20 feet and a beam of 7 feet with the mast standing 27 feet above the deck. Powered by a 9hp Volva Penta diesel engine Grebe cruises at a modest 4 knots per hour.

Grebe Interior

Grebe is spacious inside and after a few modifications and a lick of paint will be an ideal platform for BlooMarine's work around the Essex coast.
