Back on the market due to time wasters  NO Time Wasters or Daydreamers  Listing for "Rolling Stone" - a 1976 built Ferro-Cement Ketch, currently ashore in Lymington, Hampshire UK (UK Registered). This 62' ketch rigged ferro-cement sailing yacht was home built in 1976 on the River Yar in Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. She was built by a couple of friends who wanted a quick and cost effective way of sailing around the world, with great accommodation for all their friends. She has been owned by the same two friends for 40 years and many thousands of sea miles later, she is now up for sale due the lack of use. Her accommodation is very spacious and offers two double cabins forward and aft with heads units, full beam saloon and galley.  Powered by a single Ford 115 hp diesel engine, full walk in engine room with four 12 volt batteries (two domestic and two engine). Now in need of a fairly comprehensive refit, however if you are looking for an ideal liveaboard or cruising vessel - she's for you. "During the build we had Gowan Macalister of Macalister Carvell who followed the build through, he was at the time the guru of ferro cement boats in England. We did nothing without his agreement." August 2015 works: New bow sprit New cockpit woodwork New anodes Antifoul Sea cock servicing Varnishing (around £7,500 worth of work was undertaken) Now ashore in Lymington awaiting another 40 years of sailing or as a live aboard. Happy to consider part exchange for classic car or a RIB.  Viewing is welcome and is strictly sold as seen.  Specs Flag of Registry: United Kingdom Keel: Full   Dimensions LOA: 62 ft 0 in Beam: 14 ft 0 in LWL: 47 ft 0 in Length on Deck: 53 ft 0 in Minimum Draft: 6 ft 5 in   Engines Total Power: 115 HP   Engine 1: Engine Brand: Ford 115hp Year Built: 1976 Engine Model: Desel Engine/Fuel Type: Diesel Propeller: 3 blade propeller Engine Power: 115 HP     Accommodations Number of double berths: 3 Number of cabins: 2 Number of heads: 2 Number of bathrooms: 2   Electronics VHF Depthsounder Compass   Sails Spinnaker Furling genoa Genoa   Rigging Steering wheel   Inside Equipment Marine head Hot water   Electrical Equipment Shore power inlet Electrical Circuit: 240V   Outside Equipment/Extras Electric windlass   Covers Mainsail cover Cockpit cover
