AI-generated summary

The Morgan Giles 43, located on the Isle of Wight, UK, is a classic yacht with a notable history. Built in 1959, this 13.11-metre vessel was originally designed for the Britannia Royal Naval College and used to train officer cadets during the 1960s and '70s. Gryphis, one of four remaining Morgan Giles 43s, underwent a refit in 2019/20, receiving a new Volvo Penta 40 HP engine, updated electrics, electronics, and a new liferaft. Despite these upgrades, the yacht needs further restoration, particularly cosmetic work, although the hull is believed to be in sound condition. Featuring two cabins with two double berths and one single, as well as essential amenities like a manual sea toilet and a two-burner paraffin stove, this boat offers a unique opportunity for someone eager to restore her to cruising condition, potentially making a stunning entry into the classic boat racing scene. The yacht also has an aluminium mast and spars, SS standing rigging, teak on oak frames, and comes with a new Garmin chartplotter and navigation lights. It is available individually or as part of a package with the three other surviving vessels.
