She has been extensively sailed since I bought her in July 2001 when she was moored at Southsea. I moved her to Brighton, then to Chichester Marina and later back to Brighton. We have had many holidays and long weekends with family and friends sailing to the French Channel ports and to The Solent, as well as day sailing from Chichester Harbour and Brighton. I lived on ‘Zuzu’ from 2001 until 2007 and found her to be very comfortable and suitable as a liveaboard boat, albeit rather like going back fifty years in time in terms of facilities. She is very much as she left Hillyard’s yard in Littlehampton in 1959, for example she still has her original Bakelite light switches. She sails like a typical Hillyard. She doesn’t point very high and makes slow going until the wind gets up to a force 3 and then she starts to make progress; good for 6 or 7 knots in a blow. Like all Hillyard's, ‘Zuzu’ is very seaworthy and her long keel and weight make her rock steady when sailing to weather even when conditions get bad. She is certainly the safest boat I have owned. Hillyard marketed these boats as safe family cruisers when they were new and that is exactly what they are. The engine is a BMC Commander and I’ve never been sure if it’s the original engine which, in the Certificate of British Registry, was originally shown as a Morris Cowley 35 BHP. I have had the engine regularly serviced and a few years ago had the gearbox refurbished and had the gearbox cover replaced. I also had the glow plugs replaced at about the same time. The engine has not been used very much as I doubt that it’s been run for more than 20 hours a year since I’ve owned her and it continues to start on command and run well. ‘Zuzu’ is constructed of 1” mahogany on oak frames. Since I bought her I have replaced the saloon and cockpit soles, replaced the spray hood, cockpit tent and other canvas, replaced the standing rigging and fitted stainless steel chain plates. An electric bilge pump has been fitted and, following the recent survey, a float switch has been connected to it. A modern toilet has been fitted replacing the original. The tabernacle has been replaced. I had the Eberspacher heating system installed about ten years ago and have had it serviced every year; last year I had a new control box fitted. All of the skin fittings were replaced in June 2013. ‘Zuzu’ is on the National Register of Historic Ships.   Engine(s) & Electrical: BMC Commander 35hp diesel.
