The iconic aft cockpit motor yacht, this Fairey Huntsman 28 will become part of her next owners family as she has done for her previous owners.

Designed originally by Ray Hunt and modified by Alan V. Burnard of Fairey Marine in Hamble, the Fairey Huntsman 28 is renowned for very superior handling characteristics and seakeeping. During the late 1960s and 1970s they were raced highly successfully offshore and gained many trophies.

Built in 1966, this is Hull number 87 and is powered by a pair of 1997 Cummins 6ET 210Hp engines. The engines were fitted in 2000, and have just 230 hours on them. An extensive rebuild of the boat was undertaken in 1990, and the boat has been maintained to a good standard since, including recent updates and upgrades.

The boat is currently stored inside a shed out of the elements.

Owners comment's:

She is and has been maintained to a very high standard and would welcome and viewing or survey.
