Buchanan Saxon Class Sloop

Wooden Ships Comments on this Buchanan Saxon Class Sloop

The Saxon Class was designed by Alan Buchanan as a development of his very successful Vashti as a smaller more manageable yacht but with many of the same attributes.

This boat was built by RJ Priors and Son of Burnham in 1962 to Lloyds 100A1 and was kept in class until quite recently.

The dimensions and volume of the Saxon make her an ideal size for many owners, easily single handed, but with 5 berths and space for a good size crew when racing, she is large enough to take some nasty weather if required without being unmanageable.  The current owner has carried out some significant repairs including rebuilding the aft deck and transom.  She is now looking smart and ready to be commissioned by a new owner in the spring.

She comes with a very smart fitted all over cover, keeping the winter weather away from the bright work and allowing the hull to breathe.

A very attractive boat with lovely sailing qualities, nicely presented and ready for the coming season.
