Wooden Ships Comments on this Aft Cockpit 9 Ton Hillyard
Built in 1967 at Hillyards in Littlehampton, this is a very rare aft cockpit 9 ton Hillyard, there were very few built with this cockpit arrangement and we believe only one other in this size. The very large, comfortable and deep cockpit is superb for coastal cruising, offering a lot of space to move around and sit in comfort.
The main cabin is still very similar to the centre cockpit version, although there are two excellent pilot berths forward of the saloon which is not seen in other Hillyards.
An interesting yacht which has been in long ownership. In commission and sailing however she now requires a new owner with fresh enthusiasm to give her a lift and give her life for the next 30 years.
