Additional Comments

A previous owner of Sael commented: '...She was a beauty, built to Lloyds 100A1 in 1962 by Priors. She had nice accommodation in a classic, simple style, with a good heads and plenty of stowage - officially five berths, but better with three on board - plus great performance under sail; not at all sluggish. In the rough stuff, Sael was an absolute joy; dry, certain in movement and really capable...Buchanan had a knack of designing robust and attractive boats that performed well at sea, while being conservative rather than innovative inside. In my view it's a great but often underestimated formula. His boats look good and are a joy to own.'
