Classic 26' Cabin Boat for sale in Hants United Kingdom

Wooden Ships Comments on this 26′ Cabin Boat

Built by Charmans Boatyard of Bembridge in 1965, she would no doubt have been used around the Solent as a comfortable weekend boat.

A sturdy and safe motor yacht with a large aft cockpit, sheltered wheelhouse and simple accommodation forward giving a heads, galley and double berth. This is perfect for weekend excursions and nights away, with the new aft cockpit cover creating a large sheltered space aft when staying aboard.

She has a brand new Thorneycroft 60hp engine which has only done 40 hours running and has been professionally maintained this year with all new paint and varnish work.
