Broker's Comments

We're looking for a new owner for this beautifully restored, traditional wooden sailing boat.

The present owner of this lovely little yacht has many years of experience and knowledge of working with historical, wooden sailing craft of all sizes. This shows clearly in his attention to detail.

Purchased in 2009 as a retirement project, he has applied these skills tirelessly over the last 7 years to repair, restore and bring this vessel up to a very high standard indeed.

She has been completely stripped out, has new decks, new beams, a new mast, the cabin & decks have all been freshly epoxy coated and all the traditional features have been retained.

For someone whose hobby is wooden/classic vessels, this would be a great purchase. All the repair work has been completed, she appears to be in great condition, very clean, dry and only requires an anti-foul before relaunching.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

This Holliwell Class Sailing Yacht has been personally photographed and viewed by Jo & Billy Hallam of Boatshed Plymouth. Click here for contact details.
