Wooden ships comments on this Percy Mitchell Motor yacht

Built by the celebrated Percy Mitchell of Mevagissey, Cornwall in 1962 as a gentleman’s motor yacht.

Mitchell has a reputation for building very good quality, strong boats and this is no exception.

The yacht has Mitchell’s typical pronounced sheer emphasised by a varnished sheer plank, varnished rubbing strake and toe rail over with a little kick-up to the stern, full bodied, attractive  heart shaped transom, good flare to keep the bow dry, nice proportions and very pretty.

Mitchell’s book shows a photo of her on launch day.
