Broker's Comments

One of four still sailing a 52ft 25 Tonne converted wooden fishing vessel, Larch on Oak, built by George Thomson and Son in Buckie in 1955 included in the National Register of Historic Vessels of the United Kingdom.
The current owner has had for over 10 years and she has been upgraded with a 2007 Daewoo 165hp engine and a 42" 4 blade prop plus a great suite of classic sails and very attractive livery.
Spacious accommodation below with excellent headroom would make her an ideal liveaboard or cruising vessel. She would also be ideal for a sail experience commercial venture vessel with her classic sailing rig, A very special boat with great character, substantially built, safe and spacious.
Competitively priced and ready for viewings.
