Remarks:
The Kinsman is the lifting keel version of the well known Yeoman keelboat (and shares the same hull, deck and rig), making her easier to trailer sail, launch and recover. With excellent all round performance, the Kinsman is suited to both family cruising and racing, with many active fleets still sailing throughout the UK.
This example is believed to be the last Kinsman built by Moores of Wroxham, Norfolk, and has had only three owners from new. Purchased by the current owner in 2022, she is now for sale due to the purchase of a different vessel and lack of use. Benefitting from an overhauled lifting keel and good trailer, she looks to be a very good example and is understood to be in good ‘ready to sail’ condition throughout.
