Owner's Comments
My beautiful Istan is a classic and is fitted out in mahogany with a fibre glass hull. I believe it is the only one in the country. It was built in the Golden Horn in Turkey and sold through Dutch agents. It was previously on the Thames before I moved it to the River Frome.
It comes with the following:-
- Double axle trailer with hub washers. (has not been submerged)
- Full winter canvas
- Bimini and frame (covers all the cockpit as well)
- Documentation
- Part service history recent
- Gas bottle
- Stern bracket for auxiliary engine
Since the last service I have done about 5 hours. Having two boats at nearly 75 years old is too much for me now and we have a busy campsite and I could do with the space. The boat is a “head turner” and has a quiet inboard 3 cylinder Vetus engine and leaves hardly any wash. It is in pretty good condition but the bow and stern decks need a little TLC.
Accommodations
This is an open day boat with full bimini hood which is fully retractable. The build is GRP with mahogany topsides. Entering the boat the helm is situated centre aft with U-shaped seating behind with storage beneath and a small refrigeration unit. Towards the bow of the boat is a small basin with cold water with adjacent single gas burner. A large table folds out with engine room below. Further U-shaped seating giving provision for double berth and comfortable seating for 8 adults. The exterior wood is protected by means of thick rope bow bumper which extends as the way around the deck.
