GBP 245,000

BROKERS COMMENTS Fred Shepherd designed yachts were renowned not only for their great beauty but for the important practicality of more spacious accommodation than could be had in most boats of the 1930s - and perfectly demonstrated in this case. Living aboard could be very comfortable but without compromising her fine sea keeping and sailing qualities. In his book ?Oyster River? George Millar gives a wonderful account of his short-tacking AMOKURA with ease up the narrow tidal channels and riv

BROKERS COMMENTS Masters in the art of building in hot moulded Agba veneers, the march of time and technology was to encourage Fairey Marine into GRP construction. Once approved, Alan Burnard was given the task of producing drawings for a hull only in GRP, with a deck and cabin top in wood.

GBP 29,950

BROKERS COMMENTS Kim Holman designed this yacht for himself and raced her for several seasons in Class 111 with notable success. The design demonstrates some American influence in her greater beam for a 24 ft water line length than was normal in English yachts at the time with almost the same beam at waterline and deck level, which with a generous freeboard yields good interior volume. The full bilge, minimal draft, ballast ratio exceeding 40% and low aspect to the rig were all quite innovative
