Wooden Ships Comments on this 12 ton Hillyard Bermudan Sloop
The 12 ton Hillyard was designed and built by David Hillyard at his yard in Littlehampton, one of many yachts built to similar designs of various lengths and sizes.
This boat was built in 1966 and is one of the mid range yachts, similar to the 9 tonner in concept but with a little more headroom and general space.
This boat has been in current ownership since 1992 in which time she has been well cared for, updated and maintained as necessary with a significant refit in 2004. At this time the engine was replaced with a 50HP Beta, she has had new tanks, rigging, sails and importantly for Hillyards, the mast has been split and re-glued.
She is a smart and well cared for boat, capable of extended cruising if necessary but very easily managed by one person for a gentle evening sail around the bay.
