\'Brave Challenger\'- confirmed- Now a gin palace.

I took my RIB for a spin in Portsmouth harbour from Haslar Marina on Saturday. I motored slowly past what we all thought was Brave Challenger, and indeed it is. It had the name on the lifebelts, but nowhere else.
The side cabin door was open, and inside it was awash with Gin & Tonic. It really is nicely kitted out inside- floor to ceiling in solid oak. It clearly is being used as a floating hospitality venue.
Has anyone ever been inside?

Is this a sad end to a nice boat, or good use of rescources?

Re: Unslow gin palace.

Yes, it's a waste of resources giving g+t's to freeloaders. Or maybe it was fuel, still a bit wasteful. Can't agree that Brave wotsit was ever a very nice boat, bit too military and nowhere nice to sit outside.
