Major refit work in the current and previous ownership including hull and deck repairs, engines rebuilt and overhauled rig. The project is not yet complete and the current owner is looking for the right person to take her and finish off the work. She has a very good pair of engines, all new wiring and overhauled rig ready to be stepped. she is dry and tight but the interior fit out needs completing. she is a big volume yacht with elegant lines and is a vessel worthy of the effort to get her finished and back to sea.

Robert Clark Cutter ORTAC
€18000
One of the most famous offshore racing yachts of the 20th century, Ortac was designed by Robert Clark and had an illustrious career from her first win in the Heligoland Race of 1937 right through to the 1970's when she could still be seen winning races. As one of the most decorated ocean racing boats of her period, this is a yacht with the heritage and provenance to set her apart and makes her deserving of the refit she now requires. A refit was started by her late owner, but when he passed away the work stopped and she has been laid up in a shed awaiting her next custodian. The family have made the decision to let her go with a very attractive token asking price. This is a yacht of superior pedigree and provenance, a yacht we would all love to see at classic regatta events once again and a piece of our maritime history that deserves to be saved and rebuilt.
