Description
Wooden Ships Comments on this Percy Mitchell Twin Screw Motor Yacht
Designed and built by G. Percy Mitchell & Sons in 1968. Built as a pleasure boat with distinct fishing boat lines, giving her a purposeful air and solidity at sea.
In the previous ownership from 2004-2025 she was given a major professional refit inside and out. This work included the following:
- New Beta Marine 75hp engines (2010) with all new electrical and fuel systems
- New teak deck (2010)
- Rebuilt cockpit (2009) with custom made tent/cover
- New sole boards throughout in laid teak (2010)
- New wiring and systems
- New water and fuel tanks (2005)
Over the last 20+ years she has cruised regularly up and down the west country coast, voyaging mainly between Salcombe and the Helford river, much of it single handed.
With a reliable autopilot and economic engines, she cruises comfortably at 6 knots.
Her high freeboard and a large coachroof make for a vast internal volume for a boat of her length. The aft cockpit, spacious in its own right, has a custom made cover on a stainless frame that creates another comfortable inside space, excellent when spending extended time aboard the boat.
The is a smart and well cared for yacht, wintered undercover every year and professionally maintained by an experienced yard.
November 2024 survey available.
Length on Deck 36’
Beam 11’4”
Draft 4’6”
