Specification

UNICORN of BURNHAM is a graceful lady from the end of the golden days of motor yachting. She stands apart from her modern plastic counterparts, yet offers a remarkably practical cabin layout that is still very useable today. She underwent a major refit between 1991 -1997 and has been maintained to a high degree ever since. We have a recent (2010) survey available which reads very well. Although owning a classic such as UNICORN does require regular work, we are not lead to believe any major jobs are imminent.
