Holman and Pye Motor Sailer
Wooden Ships Comments on this Holman and Pye Motor Sailer
Designed by David Cooper of Holman and Pye, built by Whisstocks of Woodbridge in 1964.
Sold by Wooden Ships to the last 2 owners, she has spent recent years in Falmouth cruising the local area. Her experienced owner has been working to upgrade and improve the boat each season so that she is now in great condition and really up to scratch ready for her next owner.
She underwent a major refit in 2013 with a previous owner which included a new Beta engine, complete new wiring, all new galley equipment and an upgrade of her systems and equipment. She has been sailed extensively around the south coast, West Country and Northern Brittany and has been a very comfortable home from home for her various owners.
It is believed in a previous ownership she undertook a trip to Norway and the island of Jan Mayen which proves she is more than just a coastal cruising yacht. Her shallow draft of only 3′ however allows her to access waters not available to larger yachts.
The rig is small for her size, but this makes it easy and safe to handle. She is not a performance boat and relies on her engine, especially in lighter airs, but she is comfortable and safe, ideal for a cruising couple not looking to break speed records but to simply enjoy being afloat in comfort.
She has hot water, refrigerator, shore power and cabin heating to make life very comfortable while afloat. The cockpit is very large, perfect for sunny summer days, but with a very effective canvas cover it can be used as an extension to the living space even in the rain.
A delightful yacht in superb condition with a well documented recent refit history. Full out of water survey in February 2021, after which a number of jobs were completed to bring her up to a very good standard.
