These boats range from a few thousand pounds up to this example, sitting firmly at the top of the tree. She won the Concours D’elegance in the owner’s rally of 1999, and the present owner bought her shortly after that. Since then he has showered love and many hours upon her, and the result is a quite exceptional classic motor sailor. New engine, new chainplates, new stainless steel keel bolts, the list of improvements and proper maintenance is pretty comprehensive.
It is difficult to convey just how bright and spacious she is down below, with brilliant storage and a classic feel to the interior woodwork. Not many boats have fitted drawers under the forward berths, and the galley area is a joy to behold. On the forward bulkhead there is a charming little watercolour of a Fairey Fisherman under sail, and this will be staying where it belongs - with the boat it depicts.
Lift the engine cover and there is the 37.5 HP Beta diesel, fitted in 2006 and with only 100 hours on the clock. “Why are they selling such a lovely boat?” I hear you cry! Well, just look at the engine hours and you can answer your own question. It’s simply that the ex-Royal Navy couple who own her have just not had the time to sail her in recent years.
So folks, the only way you are going to get the measure of this cracking little boat is to come and see her, so give me a ring here at Boatshed Port Solent and we’ll set up a visit!
