Remarks:
With her distinctive blue clinker hull, this extremely pretty little two berth sailing cruiser anecdotally dates from the very early 20th century, as evidenced by her carvel/clinker construction which was popular at that time. She has been well maintained by both past and present (since 2011) owners, with recent works including the repair and recovering of her decks in new lino in 2012 and re-caulking of her carvel planks with rubberised compound in 2014, and her varnish work has also been attended to on a regular basis, most recently cabin exterior and cockpit coamings during winter 2017/18. Her owners inform us that she’s a very comfortable craft, with ample space for life on board for two and plenty of stowage. Both cabin and cockpit are generously proportioned, a combination not always found, and all is shifted along smartly under a generous spread of canvas. She is easily handled, even single handed, with all halyards led back to the cockpit, and her quiet and ecologically sound electric outboard make for pleasant motoring too. This venerable old lady is now offered to the market as the owners, who state that they have enjoyed every minute they have had with her, wish to downsize.
