Description
Classic Yacht Brokerage Comments on this Laurent Giles Vertue V131 Laurent Giles Vertue No. V131 built by Robertsons of Woodbridge in 1965. This is another example of a long voyaging Vertue, yet again proving their worth as superb offshore cruising boats.  Her second owner set sail from the UK for Cape Town via the French inland waterways and Suez Canal.  She reached her destination but not after being hit by extreme weather in the Indian Ocean.  She changed hands in South Africa, bought by a Ron Atkinson in 1071 who cruised and raced her extensively up and down the east African coast up to Mozanbique.  He renamed her Zingela after a Zulu warrior. In South Africa her rig was changed for an alloy mast to a more conventional masthead Bermudan sloop configuration, differing to the usual Vertue slutter type rig. She was then sold back into UK ownership and shipped home in 1993 where she has remained, being cruised around the south coast.   Length on Deck                          25’4” Beam                                             7’4” Draft                                              4’6” Thames Tonnage                       5TM
