Wooden Ships Comments on this Norman Dallimore Bermudan Sloop
Designed by Norman Dallimore and built by Kings of Burnham in 1934.
Bought by the current owner in 1997 when the boat was in a poor state, she then underwent a thorough professional refit which included new keel bolts and minor repairs to the hull, a complete new deck, new coachroof, rebuilt cockpit and a new interior.
Since then she has had a new Beta 20hp diesel engine, new sails and new rigging as required.
The rig has been altered from original with a slightly shorter mast to make her a more easily managed yacht although this has not detracted from her superb sailing characteristics.
The next owner will need to carry out some upgrading this coming winter, however the owner recognises this and wishes to advertise at a realistic price in order to find a suitable new home for the boat where she will continue to be cherished and appreciated. Full details of what work might be required available on request.
The yacht is however currently afloat, in commission and out sailing for this summer.
