1993 decommissioned

26.10.1993 sold to Dean & Reddyhoff Ltd., Southampton, for use as marina club house at Gosport, Hampshire. Even if the vessel was in first class condition, the layout needed alteration for the specific needs as club house. A new access was created through the side of the hull on the starboard side and a stairwell introduced amidships. A new deck had to be put in through the old generator room area, and a passageway built giving access to all areas below, where toilets and showers have been installed for the visiting yachtsmen of the Portsmouth Harbour Yacht Club. The bar and restaurant were both created in a style and of a standard reflecting the character of the vessel and these have now been handed over to an independent operator. The vessel is painted green (because the colors of the company are green) and renamed MARY MOUSE 2 after the directors´ wives Mary Deddyhoff and Joanna (Mouse) Dean.
