History... I am a cabinet maker and saw this handsome looking boat during the course of working ,and fell in awe of the flowing lines and magnificent wooden structure. the owners told me the wife has had this boat from a little girl and it belonged to her father,it had been used and loved for many years ,but in later life had been stored in a dry open barn and not used.I for the last ten years have been teaching cabinet making and asked if I could purchase the boat with a view to fully restore it to its former state,there was no damage to be seen,just some varnish blistering and fading ,well after nine years we have only had time to hand strip and revarnish the outside (mylands yacht varnish).And now I am looking to semi retire in the future ,and have decided to sell.What you see in the pictures is what there is, I do not no the condition of the boat ,trailer,sails,mast etc for sailing ,it's sold as seen , I recommend you view to confirm.It's been in the dry for my ownership in a very large workshop ,where it can be viewed before purchase.
