This pretty yacht appears in Blakes 1947 catalogue (page 72). Her current owner has owned her since 1998 (when she was last surveyed), and is selling her due to lack of time. She had several planks replaced in 1998, at which time her underwater seems were sealed with Sikaflex and her above water seams were caulked and puttied. Maintenance was then carried out as required until she was laid up, under cover, approximately 3 years ago. She is now in need to some repairs prior to relaunching. She is seriously for sale, and all offers will be considered.
