Wonder why she has a fire monitor fitted?

I'm still wondering why they built her!

She's been built as a pleasure craft, doubt she could tow anything!

I know I've posted a few of ABLE ONE but, as I was down in the Marina yesterday and the sun was shining a bit, I thought I'd take this one full on!

Patrick she is an unusual build for a pleasure craft and one wonders if it is to do with the finance of her build

Looking at You Tube and the amount of fires in Marinas caused by plastic Motor Yachts the Hydrant could be a useful addition as long as it works of course!

Shortly after she was built I was speaking with a friend who worked for the shipyard and told me that she was to classed as a yacht. as for the fire hydrant, that apparently, was a whim of the owner. I had a quick look around and to me see seemed to be a well built little ship with many quality components.

There is no doubt Parkol are quality shipbuilders and hopefully they will carry on doing so to the point where they have to Sub Contract Hulls to a Tees Yard (providing work for Teessiders)which is now at the old Graving Dock with Parkol doing the final fitting out as I understand it.
So who is the actual Owner of Able One is it an individual or a Syndicate under a cover name?
