Maja is a very
interesting and good looking craft. Built as a pilot boat in Marseille
in 1956, she was
recently completely rebuilt. The only original part of the boat is the
mahogany hull which has been
professionally sheathed in epoxy inside and out. No expense was spared
in her rebuild and as a
consequence, this 10 metre long boat really turns heads wherever she
goes
Powered by twin Volvo 140 hp turbo diesels she's no slouch either with a
top speed of nearly 20
knots. Her sleek underwater shape, that was so necessary for her job as
a pilot boat also means that
she's very efficient and amazingly economical for such a fast boat.
Her interior is charming, with a well lit V berth forward, a large
saloon with two settee berths, a
large galley with a built in Isotherm fridge and a gas stove. There is a
central table with lift up leaves
that can easily seat 6. Built into the table are drawers for cutlery and
nick knacks. There is a heads
compartment with a marine toilet and a shower. Six chromed bronze port
holes ensure plenty of
light and a nice breeze below.
The teak cockpit is large and very airy with the option to remove half
the roof and the side
windows. There is a swivel seat for the driver and co pilot with plenty
of lounging space. Maja is
very well equipped, with a full colour chart plotter and radar, vhf
radio, gps, fenders, mooring
ropes, anchors, hoses, electric cables, cockpit sun cover etc.
She's a very easy boat to use, with her excellent visibility and twin
engines, she turns in her own
length. She is fitted with an electric windlass, so anchoring is a
simple matter of flicking a switch.
Her current owner has constantly improved her and she is offered for
sale as he is buying a bigger
boat. She is in excellent condition, with very few hours on the engines.
She is ready to go.
