1948 Wallasea Bay 35' Ketch. Originally built as a sloop, 'Ocean Dundas' was converted to a ketch in the 1960's (please note mizzen mast not pictured in main suite of photos but waiting to be stepped after refurbishment). A really charming boat, Ocean Dundas was one of a number of vessels built at the Wallasea Bay Yacht Station in the post war years. A super pretty boat with her canoe stern and sloping coachroof, 'Ocean Dundas' has been used for local Solent sailing since the current owners purchased the boat from the Essex coast in 2016. Maintained as necessary by a wooden boat specialist during her time at Birdham Pool Marina, this boat is in a smart and tidy condition, ready for new owners. Available to view by appointment at Birdham Pool Marina.
