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.
See "more photos" to view 35 internal and external photos of this vessel. Note: The very keen asking price in no way reflects the true value of this yacht or the cost of her restoration but for the right purchaser a suitable offer may be considered.
