Broker's Comments

This Cornish Yawl is currently being wintered ashore as you will see from some of the photos. She was a Yawl hull from day one and is - no24 of 45 built.
She appears to be in lovely condition and comes to the market with a recent 2018 engine.
She is unique in that she is the only bermudan rigged Cornish Yawl with Alloy masts.
She appears extremely cleverly fitted out inside and would make a lovely coastal cruiser for single hand or small family. These boats have very traditional character and look so pretty on the water.

Owners comments:
This is a very reluctant parting of the ways.
She has been a joy to own and sail. She’s very Sea kindly and safe. The Yawl rig is immensely adaptable to the prevailing conditions and she will remain balanced and controllable even under Mizzen and staysail alone.
Another advantage is that each sail is relatively small and easily handled, all control lines being led aft to the cockpit.
