Remarks:

The Sea King is a heavy, comfortable cutter-rigged cruising yacht of traditional design built locally in Essex. This example has been in the current ownership since winter 2001/2, having had three former owners, and has cruised the east and south coasts extensively, and also sailed to Cherbourg and the Baltic with a previous owner. She has been regularly maintained to a high standard, including having her hull copper coated in 2018, deck re-sheathed in 2006, new standing and running rigging in 2016, new Beta 25 inboard diesel engine fitted in 2009, and new cockpit and sail covers just last year. For sale only due to a change of cruising area.
