Silvers Ormidale Motor Yacht

Wooden Ships Comments on this Silvers Ormidale Motor Yacht

Silvers Ormidale class motor yacht designed by John Bain and built by James A. Silver Ltd, Rosneath in 1965.  Built to Lloyds 100A1 classification.

Built for Edinburgh surgeon Mr John Stenhouse, she has only had 3 previous owners.  In 2000 she was given a major overhaul with a pair of new Gardner 6LXB engines fitted by Gardner Marine along with new stainless steel fuel tanks.

Professionally maintained in present ownership by boatbuilders on the Isle of Wight and cruised around the Solent and West Country.

The recent Gardner engines with low hours are a very impressive addition to this yacht, offering reliable, quiet and fuel efficient cruising.

Her comfortable layout offers 3 sleeping cabins with 2 single berths in each, plus 3 heads compartments, 2 of them with full height showers.

This is a lovely example of this well respected class of motor yacht which has retained much of her original charm and character through sympathetic ownerships.  Coupled with her relatively recent engines and systems, she is a ready to go, professionally maintained classic yacht ideally suited to family cruising.
