She was Stag Lines first order for 13 years and at the time shipbuilders were offering very keen prices.

She cost £27,860, which is all I can add to Dave's History.

A very detailed picture showing all her good bits. In fact much better than the two pictures in Nicholas Robinson's Stag Line Book. (WSS 1984)
