Peter Duck Ketch for sale

Laurent Giles Peter Duck ketch built as they all were by Porter & Haylett. A total of 38 boats were built to this design. This boat has been neglected after the death of her late owner. Prior to this she had been professionally maintained by a local shipwright with a recently fitted new Beta 28 diesel engine. The hull has dried out but work has been ongoing to slowly let the hull take up which is happening nicely. The rig is complete. Being sold at a very low cost as the family simply wish to move her on. This is not a major rebuild in any way, a new owner with some amateur skills and time could easily take on the required work.

Classic wooden sailing yacht for sale

One of the 11 boats built to this design by Peter Brett, the creator of the Rival range of yachts. The Dee 25 proved herself as very capable yacht with some notable performances in offshore yacht races in the 1960's, including the infamous 1965 Channel race that was hampered by severe weather. Several major periods of refit in recent years, all well documented. 5 berths with 6'2" headroom. Recently rot has been found in several topside planks and deck edge as well as the beamshelf on the starboard side. After many years of ownership the owner has decided he does not have the capability to take on this work and is selling the boat as a project for a nominal £1000. Currently ashore in a dry shed, she can easily be worked on in situ by a new owner, or moved by road to a new location.

Classic wooden bermudan ketch yacht for sale

Designed and built in France, she was bought by the current owner in 2004 when lying in Turkey, remaining in the Med until 2011 cruising the islands and taking part in various classic regattas. Professionally maintained, she has benefitted from a complete new teak deck in 2018, new engine in 2012 and new rigging and main mast in 2015. Her rather unusual interior was a particular draw for the present owner as it is divided into 3 distinct areas offering separate accommodation for 6 people without being 'on top' of one another. A very elegant yacht, easily handled for short handed cruising but equally capable of classic regatta racing.
