Portisham

   Portisham, location Balbriggan, Co Dublin.  Liveaboard while remaining mostly seaworthy.  Work priority has been conversion for liveaboard, but replacement engines run regularly, and hydraulic steering works well.  Tight hull, with mostly deck leaks.  Expect to find rot under rubbing strakes, but don't anticipate needing to replace diagonal planks, just saturate with preservative and replace carvel ones.
More info if anzone is interested, meanwhile, I would appreciate support at
