This Classic Birchwood Classic 33ft cruiser is in superb condition. Everything needed to start or upgrade your boating life is there and ready to go. whilst the hull is from 1973 she was not registered until 19991. Very well looked after by all her owners, she was out fitted by Sirius Yachts to an extremely high standard in 1991. The quality of that work, still shines through today. The woodwork could have been installed yesterday and is matched by the current choice of upholstery and soft furnishings.

Ruth Louise benefits GRP constructed planing hull with a well rounded forward section with a long flat V run aft with the ability to easily plane, giving a soft ride in brisk sea conditions. Fitted with inboard twin Bedford 150hp 6 cylinder engines driving twin propeller shafts. The hard covered helm/cockpit area is spacious, having ample stowage and comfortable seating for 6. There are two main adjustable Captains and Navigator armchairs with footrails. Ample safety grab rails are provided for anyone moving around.

One enters the fore accommodation down a three tread wooden stair. To the left is long coat cupboard, the right a shower room n heads. Then we have a galley with main oven, grill and hob, H/C sink and plenty of nooks to stow tea bags and gin. Opposite is a nice raised dinette area, again with cupboards galore all around and under. This converts into a further double berth. The V berth is set as two singles with individual lights. plenty of light throughout with the surround windows including some opening.

Going aft through into the stateroom cabin, again down three stairs. A large fixed double bed with water tank under, a good dressing area and hand basin sit next to a drawer chest with a doored shelving space above. We also have a tall and deep hanging space as can be seen in the photographs. All round windows again this cabin sits below the poop deck.

Externally there are good wide walkways all around, safety rails (some teak topped to aft), fender holders, boat hooks, cleats, anchor and power windlass. Diesel and water points are on the side gunnels.

Coming with solar walk-on panels and almost everything required to just go boating.

This stunning classic sea going river cruiser with aft cabin stateroom is a must see. The exterior is also in sound condition and showed no signs of any osmotic blistering when last insurance surveyed in 2020. Ruth Louise, for her age, is in remarkable condition with only a few minor repairs completed previously and a only a few more to do now. Naturally, for a 50 year old vessel, she would benefit from an exterior mop, rewaxing and UV seal.

The sale is presented due the death of the main owner and the family reluctantly letting her go, hopefully as another family boat about to set out on new adventures.

Twin Bedford 150hp 6 cylinder diesel engines.
