Description

A fine example of David Hillyard’s famous 12 tonner. Beautiful looking centre cockpit sloop with renowned build quality. They thoroughly deserve their reputation as one of the best sea kindly comfortable classic yachts.
Built in 1961 with mahogany planking on oak frames and long cast iron ballast keel she is cutter rigged with furling jib and staysail. Easily handled under sail she stands up in rough conditions and is a steady passage maker. Recently re-engined, she will cruise under power at a steady and economical 6.5 knots.
With 6 berths in 3 cabins and plenty of storage room she is ideal for extended cruising in comfort. So much of this lovely yacht is new and tastefully appointed to suit her traditional character whilst many of her original features have been retained making this a proper yacht in every sense.
No expense has been spared to bring this yacht up to the highest of standards. You will not find a better example in terms of condition and equipment
