More detail on this classic sailing yacht for sale: [ Ссылка ]

Built at the Aldous Shipyard, Brightlingsea and launched in 1912 as a fishing Smack for local east coast waters for a Mr Joe Francis.  She worked out of various east coast ports and was eventually retired from oyster dredging in 1984.  Bought by the previous shipwright owner in 1994, she underwent a 10 year refit where the new deck was laid, planking and framing replaced and a new rig fitted.  At that time her old Gardner diesel was removed and she spent her years up until 2017 based in Brightlingsea and racing amongst the graceful fleet of fishing smacks which is growing in size and popularity.

Sold by Wooden Ships in 2017 to the present owner, she was sailed to Cornwall where she has been based in recent years, cruising around the coast, across the channel and out to the Isles of Scilly.

Her current owner has added to the interior fit out to make her more comfortable for longer periods aboard and she ow has 6 good berths, a heads and galley.

She has been well cared for and sailed extensively in recent years.  Garboard planks were replaced, the hull re-caulked, rigging replaced, deck repaired and generally properly maintained.

Being an engineless sailing vessel in the modern world means she is not for the faint hearted, but she is a boat true to her origins, indeed her first crew from 1912 would step aboard today and sail her exactly as they would have done over 100 years ago.  Propulsion could be fitted by way of a leg, driven by electric or hydraulic motors, there is plenty of space within the hull to fit a diesel engine and tanks to power this if desired.

She proved to be a relatively fast boat amongst the fleet of Smacks with a respectable amount of silverware showing her name and is certainly one of the prettiest boats.  Although not a new or completely rebuilt smack, she is a good boat, well cared for and with the right attention will give many years of pleasurable sailing to her new owners.
