Classic wooden Buchanan Prior 37 sailing yacht for sale

Buchanan Prior 37 launched in 1964 and built to Lloyds 100A1 classification. Built for a syndicate of 3 owners who campaigned her regularly in offshore races until she was sold to the present owner in 2002. Then started a 3 year major bottom up rebuild of the boat which required the whole interior to be removed, planking and frames replaced, new bronze strap floors, all new interior and systems. Since then she has been cruised extensively and continually upgraded with a new engine in 2022, new rigging and sails in 2017 and numerous other works. This is probably the most complete and turn key yacht of her type we have ever had the pleasure of offering for sale, a real gem from a dedicated and experienced owner.

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.

Classic GRP yacht Buchana Vashti Mk3 for sale

Buchanan Vashti Mk3, also known as the Queen Class 38, was the GRP version of Buchanans famous Vashti design, a yacht that proved her mettle as a fast and capable cruiser racer in the 1960's. Her robust GRP hull was moulded by Tylers and then fitted out by Priors who were used to building wooden boats, so her interior has a distinctly classic feel, something that often lacks on GRP yachts. Well maintained and continually upgraded with a complete new rig in 2022, race spec sails and a full inventory. A true classic in her own right, she qualifies for the classic regattas and makes for a very competent cruiser racer yacht with exquisite lines.
