Broker's Comments

Register with Boatshed to see 48 extra photos of this Laurent Giles Ketch 55 ' .
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a superb ocean-capable, aluminium ketch. A contemporary design from the board of Laurent Giles, this vessel is ready to go on a world cruise. She was subject to a £100,000 refit in 1996, a £50,000 refit in 2000 and further £20,000 refit in 2003. These re-fits included: a new engine, new in-mast furling and rigging, new auto-generator, new windows, new teak decks, new electric flush heads, paintwork and a new cooker. She has made several Atlantic crossings, however, has had little use over the last five years. When I was on board this spacious yacht, I was struck by how light and airy it was below. She is a superb blue water cruiser and deserves serious consideration when planning a long term adventure. I have many more photographs available. See "more photos" to view 48 internal and external photos of this vessel. Aug 05 Just had an expensive bare metal re-paint below the water line.

Currently lying in the Algarve.

THIS BOAT WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT CHARTER VESSEL.
