Broker comments
This yacht was designed before the start of the second world war and the construction started in 1938. The build was stopped as the war started and only recommenced once battle had ceased. She was very strongly constructed but was in need of some work when the current owner purchased her some years ago. Since then he has spent tens of thousands of pounds on her restoration and she is now a classic in fantastic condition.
