Description
Classic Yacht Brokerage Comments on this Arthur Ransomes Fred Shepherd Yacht SELINA KING is a Fred Shepherd designed Bermudan cutter built by Harry King & Sons in 1938 for the author Arthur Ransome.  She was the largest boat commissioned by Ransome. Passing through various owners, she was bought by a gentleman from Bermuda in 1972 who set out to sail her home and was caught in a nasty north Atlantic storm.  Rescued by the navy, she eventually made it to Bermuda where she remained for some time before being sold again and cruising to the Caribbean and the States.  Found abandoned and in a poor state in Florida, she was sailed back to Bermuda and eventually bought by the current owner in 2011.  There started a major refit, culminating in her launch in 2023 at the very yard where she had been built at Pin Mill, Suffolk. Now after spending a lot of years, effort and money rebuilding the boat, the owner wishes to pass her on to someone who can appreciate the good work and use her properly. Photo Credits: Nic Compton.
