Wooden Ships Comments

Designed by the famous John Bain as a prototype affordable auxiliary cruising yacht. Heralded as the way forward in modern yachting she was featured in the June 1935 edition of The Motor Boat magazine. She is a spacious yacht for her length with the high coachroof offering a lot of internal volume, and a fractional sloop rig making her easy to handle and giving good performance.

Built by the Silvers yard at Rosneath in 1935, she is typical of the high standards of craftsmanship seen there with good quality materials for the hull and decks.

A major refit in present ownership between 2005 and 2011 saw a lot of structural hull work carried out, new decks, new engine and new rig. She is now in smart tidy condition and has been used regularly in recent years cruising around the south coast.She is fully maintained by the present owner and is ready to sail with a new owner.
