Description
“Baranne”, Official Number 1661417, is a remarkable twin-screw motor cruiser, thoughtfully crafted and believed to be designed by the esteemed MacMillan Brothers of Fairlie, Ayrshire in the year 1938. This classic vessel measures an impressive 34 feet 4 inches in length, with a beam of 8 feet 9 inches and a draught of 4 feet at the aft, making her not only a beautiful sight on the water but also a capable performer. The construction of “Baranne” showcases the timeless craftsmanship of her era, featuring splined carvel planking made from rich Honduras mahogany and Iroko, while the centreline timbers are robust English oak. The transom, decks, coach roof, and wheelhouse are elegantly finished with durable Burma teak.
This timeless motor cruiser is designed with a close-timbered structure that includes Canadian rock elm, sided at 1 3/4 inches and moulded to 1 1/4 inches, spaced approximately 7 inches apart and expertly copper fastened for durability. The oak hog and deadwood, sided at 7 1/2 inches, are both hard and sound, ensuring the integrity of the craft. “Baranne” is equipped with seven oak floors, each sided at 2 inches, and all remain in excellent condition. She features two full-length stringers per side, sided at 1 inch and moulded at 1 1/4 inches, along with sheer strakes that are sided at 3 3/4 inches and moulded at 1 3/4 inches. These structural elements are securely connected with oak lodging knees, bolted through the stempost for added strength. The deadwood timbers are sided up to 7 inches, supported by a grown knee, sided at 3 inches, which reinforces the transom.
On the exterior, “Baranne” is equipped with two large bronze mooring cleats on the stern deck that provide secure docking options. A substantial Simpson Lawrence manual anchor windlass serves as the forward mooring point, bolted securely through the foredeck onto a large backing pad, and is in good working order, ensuring reliability during anchoring.
The interior accommodation maintains a very traditional aesthetic, characteristic of crafts from this period, and is presented in good condition. The paint and varnish throughout is well-preserved, reflecting the care taken in maintaining this vessel.
Powering “Baranne” are twin 4-cylinder Beta 20 engines, each producing 20 HP at 3600 RPM. The engines are in very good condition, with external components, hoses, and cables appearing serviceable. The engine flexible mounts are appropriately secured to steel girders, and the recorded engine hours are 132 hours on the starboard and 129 hours on the portside. All wiring associated with the engines is in excellent condition, and the PRM 2:1 reduction gearbox units show a similar standard of care. Fitted within the engine compartment are two plastic 70-litre ISO21487 fuel tanks, utilizing ISO7840 fuel lines for optimal performance.
Additionally, the vessel is equipped with a 25-litre hot and cold water calorifier, enhancing onboard comfort for extended trips. For added protection during the colder months, “Baranne&q
