Designed and built by Luke Powell of Working Sail in 2009. Luke Powell pilot cutter Amelie Rose is the sister ship to an earlier boat, ‘Ezra’, and as such, was a proven design with a track record.
Built for the present owner, this 44ft boat has operated as a charter and sail training vessel since her launch through what has been a very successful business.
The business aspect of this set-up is available for purchase by separate negotiation.
Since her launch in 2009, she has worked every season and, as such, has benefitted from continual maintenance and inspection to keep her in top fettle and satisfy the MCA commercial coding surveyors. She has a current Category 2 MCA certificate. At just 11 years old, she has the satisfaction of a new sailing boat combined with the benefits of one that has been properly sailed and tested to iron out the numerous small issues that can crop up.
Her design was chosen as it is a perfect size, combining manageability, space and comfort, giving 10 berths and ample deck space while still being a sailing yacht that can be handled by a small crew.
She became well known after appearing in the BBC programme ‘The Hungry Sailors’ and has become a common sight in harbours along the south coast and in Brittany, as well as proving her speed by winning the 2015 Pilot Cutter review in St Mawes.
A very classic yacht for sale in solid condition, capable of continuing her role as a charter vessel or moving to be a comfortable and capable private yacht.
