wooden Hillyard yacht for sale

37' Hillyard built to his 12 ton design with usual Hillyard layout of centre cockpit, aft cabin, saloon and forward cabin. The 12 ton hillyard is less common than the 9 ton version but offers quite a lot more space and comfort without excessive extra length. 6 good berths split between 3 cabins makes for very comfortable cruising with an aft owners cabin, large saloon and separate fore cabin. This boat has had a lot of work and upgrades done in the present ownership but is currently looking a bit scruffy and has a few areas of wood work needing attention. Engine rebuilt 2022, new rigging and sails in recent years, completely re-wired plus many other upgrades. Offered for a very attractive price as the owner can no longer use the boat and needs to move her on.

Classic wooden sailing yacht for sale

The Viking is a well respected design from Alan Buchanan, a deceptively fast cruising boat with relatively shallow draft. This boat had extensive refits in 2011 and again in 2015 when all recommendations from the 2014 survey were carried out. More recently she has had repairs to the deck with new sections of subdeck. She has good sailing performance combined with a spacious interior for her length. 5 berths. Yanmar 15hp diesel. An attractively priced yacht. Back on the market having been sold very recently, the new owner finding he is not in a position to own and sail a yacht of this size.

  • Builder: William Wyatt Ltd, Mersea, Essex
  • Year: 1964
