I was working at Brundall Bay Marina today on the South Broads Surveying this Broom 39. She is the successor to the popular Ocean 38, with an improved bathing platform with built-in steps. The 39 followed the example of the 42 CL in using the narrow "eyebrow" style side windows and a black frame for the front windscreen. This 39 2+2 is a variation on the 39KL providing two ensuite cabins and an extended deck saloon.
 |
| Intended mainly for extended periods of cruising, the 2+2 is normally fitted with twin 260HP Yanmars and larger fuel tanks for longer range. This one is unusual with her black and carbon fibre trim and larger Volvo 320HP Diesels giving a top speed around 25 Knots. |
The dinette is removed, and the additional space is given over to the larger forward cabin and a bonus utility space, which can be used for a washing machine, a generator and additional stores. The spacious interior provides very comfortable, live-aboard facilities for extensive cruising.
Surveyors comments:
Build quality during this period was exceptional at Brooms. A real Royals Royce. Surveyors comments:
