AI-generated summary

The Fairey Huntsman 31 Aft Cabin "Solent Charger," located on the Isle of Wight in the United Kingdom, is an impressive vessel, rich in heritage and designed for keen maritime enthusiasts. Built in 1973, this 9.75-metre boat, with a beam of 2.88 metres, represents one of the last of the renowned Huntsman series, being hull number 30 out of 31 crafted by Fairey Marine. Powered by twin 212hp Ford Sabre 5.95-litre 6-cylinder turbo engines, both of which were meticulously overhauled in 2023-24, "Solent Charger" combines power with class. She has been comprehensively updated with modern electrics, including a complete rewire, new batteries, alternators, and a reconstituted DC switch panel as of 2023. Navigation equipment such as GPS, a depthsounder, and VHF DSC ensure seamless maritime journeys. Comfort aboard is facilitated by the thoughtfully laid-out accommodation, which includes a dinette that converts into a double berth and two single berths in the aft cabin, along with a galley fitted with a certified gas system and a new cooker. Externally, the boat sports a Lewmar anchor windlass, a transom swim ladder, and additional deck safety gear, making it both a secure and stylish choice. Despite requiring minor attention before launch, the "Solent Charger" has had over £30,000 spent on improvements in recent years, ensuring she is seaworthy and equipped for modern convenience.
