The Seaward 23 is a meticulously maintained boat built in 2000. With an overall length of 7.40m and a beam of 2.59m, "Kathryn" has been owned by an RNLI mechanic since 2003, ensuring thorough upkeep and routine enhancements. Key updates include a remade bathing platform (2008), new canopy (2018), stainless steel mast with LED navigation lights (2018), and recent installation of a new Jabsco sea toilet (2023). The boat's power comes from a Yanmar 4JH3DTE 125HP engine with 984 hours, boasting a full-service history, last serviced in October 2023. Its electronics and navigation are equipped with Raymarine interfacing, including a 2KW radar and C70 chartplotter. Accommodation features include Eberspacher heating, a galley with LPG grill, and updated upholstery (2018). Safety equipment includes a 4-person liferaft, life jackets, and fire extinguishers. The vessel is in top condition, having undergone a flawless sea trial.

Kathryn was built in 2000 and current owner purchased the boat in 2003.
The owner is himself a full-time mechanic for the RNLI and has kept the boat to a high standard through modifications and routine maintenance. She is regularly serviced, and full-service logs have been kept.
The outside of the boat is kept clean and polished, and the teak spray rail and white boot-top line are painted every other year. The bathing platform was remade in 2008 and is treated with teak oil each winter. The anti-foul was stripped back in 2018 and she is now coated with CP Pro Long-life anti foul The wooden mast was replaced with a stainless-steel mast in 2018 with LED navigation lights. All plastic vents replaced with stainless steel and VHF aerials replaced in 2018. She is fitted with duplex primary diesel filters.
New canopy in 2018 and for the last 5 years has been kept inside a boat shed each winter when a tonneau cover replaces the canopy. This has kept the canopy in good condition.
Most of the internal upholstery was replaced in 2018 and new cushions made.
New Jabsco sea toilet fitted in 2023. New shaft and cutlass bearings have just been fitted and injector nozzles replaced 2024
Just prior to being put onto the market she had a sea trial. All major items were thoroughly checked, and no faults found. This included engine, shaft, automatic bilge pump, manual bilge pump, Eberspacher heating, windscreen wipers, ship’s radio and handheld radio, auto pilot and chart plotter.
There is a good selection of warps, 2 new auto life jackets and one older manual one, various engine spares and a prop puller to enable prop to be removed with rudder in situ. Along with the standard fenders there are 2 ball fenders, useful for springing.
