Description

Classic Yacht Brokerage Comments on this Bermudan Ketch Motor Sailer The hull was built by boat builder Charles McElroy in Ardboe, N. Ireland and launched in 1991. She looks very similar to a Fisher motor sailer and is often mistaken for one but is in fact a more substantial design with more attractive underwater hull sections giving her good sailing ability. The uncompleted hull was purchased by local man Aiden Riley, a lifeboat mechanic, who completed the build with the help of cabinet maker Vincent Murphy. Plans for the completed boat were drawn up by naval architects Barr & Associates with stability analysis by Strathclyde Maritime Design. She is largely based on traditional fishing boat lines, however her fore and aft sections are finer giving her a good grip in the water and better sailing performance than a round bilge fishing boat. The RNLI connection is evident throughout from the aluminium wheelhouse to numerous high-end fittings, attention to details and the general no nonsense finish. Bought by the present owner in 2014, a thorough rolling refit commenced with upgrading of much of the equipment and systems. Most of the rig is new, all electronics, nav systems and a Beta 90hp engine fitted in 2022. In recent years she has been used for cruising the west coast of Scotland and the Hebrides, where she has proven herself as a very capable and comfortable sea-going boat, well known and much admired in many places. Her hull shape is most interesting with good grip in the water, giving her rather impressive sailing performance. Although a motor-sailer at heart, she has a big sail area and can stand up to her canvas. She will easily make 6/7 knots on a beam reach. This is a very impressive yacht, superbly well equipped, and ready for any extended cruising. Her large wheelhouse gives excellent space and shelter. Dedicated sleeping areas in the forward and the aft cabins separates sleeping space from living space. Very favourable April 2024 survey available, insurance company have confirmed they will cover a new owner with this report.
