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 motor sailer ketch for sale

Described as a 'fifty-fifty' yacht by her designer W.G. McBryde, this fine vessel cleverly blends the benefits of both the sailing boat and the motor yacht in a way that many motor sailers seem to miss. Her lines are exquisite and perfectly balanced with a tall ketch rig and central wheelhouse. Her spacious interior of 15 Thames Tons offers an aft cabin and stunning saloon with nearly all original joinery, plus a large heads compartment and galley in the bows. With twin engines she is easy to handle in close confines and cruises easily at 6 knots, but she also has remarkable sailing performance with tiller steering on the aft deck for those sunny days offering 'wind in the hair' sailing. A truly stunning yacht refurbished by her experienced and dedicated owners.

  • Year: 1934
  • Location: Argyll & Bute
