Abels Shipyard Replica Topsail Schooner for sale in Bristol United Kingdom

Marketing Description

Designed and built by David Abels at Abels Shipyard in Bristol, this classic Replica Topsail Schooner was a long time dream and ambition of the owner.
Having sailed to the Mediterranean, it returned to the docks in Bristol where it has stood unused for some years.
Requiring some upgrades, maintenance and fitment, and being only 8 years old, and reminiscent of a 'tall-ship', this beautiful vessel could be restored into working service once again.
As a long-distance ocean cruiser, or with some internal modifications, this ship would be ideal as a youth sail-training vessel.
Note: Pictures contain images taken during maiden voyage, and may not represent the current condition.
