Broker's Comments

Register with Boatshed to see 24 extra photos of this Hillyard 2.5 Tonner .
The 2.5 tonne Hillyard was the smallest and possibly the prettiest design to come out of the Hillyard yard. They were built for 30 years from the early 1920's and proved incredibly popular, partly because of the marketing campaign in the 1930's which promised a sailing cruiser for under £100. They were renowned for being sea kindly and responsive and ideal for beginners and enthusiasts alike.
This example has a very unusual history being in the same ownership from 1950 until 2005, and for the last 18 of those years she was stored under cover ashore, hence her very original condition.
If not quite yet a museum piece, she may well be the most original Hillyard still in commission and she would be a privilege to own and sail.
