Resume of condition at October 2006 & detail of refit completed October 2007

Before I purchased her. Regnum had been maintained in service with Chichester Harbour Conservancy in the harbour since her completion by Osbourne's of Littlehampton in 1962.  On inspection the hull was found to be in excellent condition  all through-hull fittings were sounded and found good, there was no sign of exterior decay and further inspection in the bilges confirmed a decision not to disturb a very sound & true hull. The interior required extensive stripping, cleaning and re-varnishing. Varnished used throughout was Ephiphanes. The engine had been regularly serviced, started immediately and runs well. The general electrics needed an overhaul and all redundant wires removing.

The re-fit has been carried out by professional shipwrights, marine engineers and the owner, now retired, with 40 years experience in the marine trade building boats and  restoring both wood & GRP craft. The restoration of Regnum was undertaken as a retirement project and the cost of materials & subcontracted labour is in the region of £25,000.

Engine: engine oil changed, all filters replaced. Prop shaft replaced and all bearings and C.V. joints renewed. Engine driven bilge &. freshwater pump impellers renewed.
