This superb classic F.B.R Brown design was built in 1973 and has had only 2 owners from new. Brown was noted for his designs of very pleasing, sea-worthy cruising yachts. Patek Philippe Replica Watches
She has a full keel and an overhanging transom stern. Constructed from carvel planked 7/8 inch utile (mahogany) copper fastened to 1 3/8 inch x 1 1/8 inch steamed oak ribs at 6 inch centres on an oak backbone carrying 1.6 tons of ballast.
She has a traditional teak deck, very durable afromosia coach roof and self-draining cockpit. Fitted with stainless steel pull-pit, push-pit and guard rails.
She is fitted with the classic Dolphin 12 hp engine, a two cylinder two stroke petrol. These engines had a reputation for simplicity and reliability as well as being economical in use. This one has been recently rebuilt and as can be seen in the photos is in excellent condition and capable of many more years service.
She has been lightly used and clearly cherished. Her sails were new 1991 and are in excellent condition. There are three plus one berths and standing headroom.
A beautiful, classic yacht that has been maintained to a high standard.
