I am the fourth owner of this fine cruising yacht.
The first owner was Alan, the Earl of Cathcart, who was the commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron at the time, he sold her in October 1982, it changed hands gain in 1984, I became the owner in March 1990.
I have sailed her mostly single handed around the Thames estuary and the east coast, with a few excursions across to the near continent, with a small crew.
If you would like more details or have a look over or trial sail, please get in touch.
She is afloat at the moment, I will be bringing her ashore shortly.
Thanks for reading this advert.
