1971 Southern Marine MALAHIDE Pilothouse LRC

This 64-foot Southern Marine Malahide is a North Sea trawler design built with substantial timber construction—2-inch-thick Iroko planking fastened to a frame with 3/8-inch galvanized steel spikes, with Iroko decks laid over marine plywood and caulked throughout. Powered by a single Kelvin Marine diesel engine producing 240 hp, she cruises at 8 knots with a 3.5-inch stainless steel shaft and four-blade bronze propeller. Her electrical system runs 12/24 VDC and received upgrades with more modern equipment in 2010; all Orina systems are reported operational.

The accommodations consist of three generous double staterooms amidships and aft, plus a crew berth forward, distributed across five cabin spaces with four heads. The hull was finished in Portugal and towed to Dublin for fitting out, where her final fit and finish was completed to high standards.

The boat will benefit from attention and maintenance. Her 3.5-inch stainless steel shaft turns a 4-blade bronze propeller, and she has proven herself capable of extended cruising in challenging waters.
