For sale:An incredibly strongly built yacht with steam bent English oak frames at 7" centers with 3/4" carvel teak planks. The floors are galvanised steel 7/8" x 3/8" at throat. They are in good condition. She has two stringers of silver spruce 3"1/5" moulded x 1"15" sided..shelf of silver spruce 4" x 1"1/5" sided...as you can see an incredible build quality. The planking, king plank, cabintop, cabin sole, Stem, Sternframe, transom, coamings, hatches, rudder are 'carefully selected of finest quality, reasonably reasoned, and free from knots of the finest Burma teak' as specified in the plans. She was built under the protection of a shed under Llyods 100A approval in 1959 at the prestigious Sandbanks boatyard Poole. Keel bolts are Bronze, removed in 1986, found to be perfect and reinstated, the keel is lead. The mast and boom are solid Silver spruce. All planking is copper rove fastened. and are in good condition. The top sides being splined in teak. The engine is a recently installed Beta Marine which is very quiet and economical. Interior is finished in Japanese oak with lots of storage. There are fitted cupboards either side. The steps down in to the galley can be removed of easy access to engine. There is a stainless steel fresh water tank holding about 17 gallons. Fuel tank is new. All rigging is SS and was renewed professionally in 2012. She is rigged in 6mm stainless steel with twin fore and aft stays...one forestay being 'snap-release'. She has a powerful rig with tall mast and is fast under sail..she has 1.34m tonnes of lead keel and is therefore very comfortable in rough seas and handles like a much bigger boat. I have done 7.5 knots in her and was comfortable. She has a 5'6" draft, is 26'8" over the deck and 23' at waterline. She has beautiful lines and has been built with incredible care and attention. She needs a bit of tlc to bring her in to the next season but is a boat worth spending time and money on. She has a plough anchor with 8mm chain. A newly installed Taylors gravity fed parafin bulkhead mounted heater which heats the whole boat well. A marine grade SS bow fitting has been fabricated a fitted professionally to a very high stardard..this is to aid anchoring, especially when she was sailing in the Mediterranean. I have a huge amount of history that came with the boat. She is part 1 registered, an RORC certificate of historical interest, original specifications by Sandbanks Yacht Co. Signed photographed by Beken of Cowes on her maiden voyage skippered by her new owner and commissioner K.R.Huges founder of the well known 'Kelvin Huges' navigation equipment company. He commissioned the very well respected Frederick Parker to design the yacht. I have all the original documents, bill of sale and has been owned by 6 owners prior to me, 3 of which were of the same family. She is a wonderful boat and I have enjoyed owning her very much.She has been restored to an incredibly high standard as the above suggests and have new Lloyds decks throughout. The rebuild has been photographed in great detail. Please be in touch via email and I will forward you a link to the rebuild. There has been no expense spared during the rebuild and I have receipts. A huge amount of time and money has been spent on the boat over recent years. The boat is made of best Burma Teak and was taken back to wood and found to be in excellent condition.The decks have been completely replaced with Lloyds marine 15mm ply screwed using ‘new-old-stock’ knettlefold silicon bronze screws then fiberglassed using WEST SYSTEM. The hull has been re-caulked and seamed traditionally with red lead putty. The engine is a Beta Marine only having done a few hundred hours. The wood has been stripped back to bare wood meticulously inside and out, prepared then coated with 4 coats of primocon then 4 coats of danboline in the inside and 4 coats of primocon on the outside and finished in off white. The exterior varnish now needs renewing having been used for the season. The teak is still oily so varnish tends to peel. The boat really has to be seen to be fully appreciated. The boat is currently on hard-standing outside my workshop in Cornwall. Viewing is very welcome.She's sailed extensively through the Solent over the past few years. I am continuing to work on her and have removed the cockpit winch posts for fabrication in SS replacing the old iron posts...she could do with new cockpit winches or restoration of original bronze ones would be nicer.Please feel free to be in touch and I'll pass my phone number on and contact details if you're interested.I am selling her to help fund a new building project my wife and I are starting. We thought we could keep her, but it's currently not looking like that. We'll be sad to see her go.Best wishes,Tom
