Kim Holman Bermudan Ketch

Wooden Ships Comments on this Kim Holman Bermudan Ketch

34′ Kim Holman ketch built by Whisstocks Boatyard, Woodbridge in 1966.  She has had several owners who have cruised the boat extensively over the years, including widely around Europe and across the Atlantic to the Caribbean proving her as a capable, safe and comfortable cruising boat.

With a new deck laid in 1996 (re-caulked 2021) and a major hull and engine refit by the Elephant Boatyard in 2016/2017, she has been maintained to a good standard over the yea

Her snug ketch rig makes her easy to handle when sailing alone or short handed with a spacious cockpit, wide side decks, roller furling headsail and self tailing sheet winches.

She is a deceptively spacious yacht below decks  with a healthy beam and a good depth in hold due to her underwater shape, typical of many Holman designs of the period which offer a lot more internal volume than yachts from other contemporary designers.  The raised doghouse offers a separate space aft for the quarter berths and chart desk which is rarely found in a yacht this size.
