construction

Wood carvel construction with Long keel underwater profile, paint finish
Hillyards are well constructed in traditional carvel planking. This one is pitch pine on oak with an iron keel. All garboard and hood end fastenings have been replaced with silicon bronze and the keel bolts with stainless steel. She has been completely re-decked in 2001, with new toe rails and deck beams and the ply deck is sheathed with glass cloth and epoxy resin. She benefits from mahogany and teak coachworks with bronze portlights and ventilators. She was 60% recaulked in 2001 and foreframes sistered. She was last anti-fouled in late summer 2003.

Broker's Comments

A piece of our Maritime Heritage, built as a gentleman's weekend yacht by a famous South Coast yard and for the last several years owned and cared for by a college lecturer in traditional boat building. He has lovingly restored her with no expense spared, whilst retaining her original features wherever possible. She is classed as a Three Tonner and is the forerunner of the famous Hillyard 21/2 Ton Class. The emphasis of her restoration has been to restore her to her original condition, where possible and practicable, as she is possibly the oldest surviving Hillyard yacht, according to the Hillyard Owners Association database.
