Wooden Ships Comments
Salcombe yawl No. Y48, built by Edgar Cove of Salcombe in 1966.
Bought by the late owner in 2015 who started a thorough refit, sadly left unfinished after he passed away.
The deck and transom were replaced, some new oak ribs fitted and the hull varnished inside and out with 2 pack Awlgrip varnish. The rig is nearly complete with masts and very good sails, but requires booms for mizzen and main and new rigging.
The boat is sitting on a good launching trolley but does not have a road trailer.
The Salcombe Yawl fleet is still very active in Salcombe with boats from all eras racing on a regular basis. This boat does not have a measurement certificate but could be brought into class for racing if required. She could also make a fun and capable dinghy for family sailing.
One of our classic yachts for sale, the boat is being sold by the late owners family who wish to find a good home hence the very attractive price.

New antifoul
Fix new thwarts in the cockpit and on the side decks
Clean up centreboard
Fit rudder
New running and standing rigging
New main and mizzen booms
