Wooden Ships Comments
Built by Dickies of Tarbert in 1920 to a design by Peter Dickie.
Built as a private yacht, she has sailed with a number of owners between Europe and the Caribbean and throughout the Med where she spent some years working as a charter boat. Bought by the present owner in 2002, since when she has had a major update and refit including a new engine, new rigging and sails, a complete new deck and updating of her systems.
The boat has a well documented history including a number of original log books from the 1920′ complete with water colour paintings.
A very elegant boat with flush teak decks and low skylights so as not to intrude on the looks of the yacht. Interesting interior layout with 2 entrance hatches, this allows for 2 good size sleeping cabins towards the aft and a large saloon just forward of midships, giving 7 berths in total. A true classic yacht with bags of pedigree, stunning looks and in very nice condition
