Broker's Comments

Register with Boatshed to see 52 extra photos of this Watson Motor Sailor.
A true classic, she has a superb pedigree, a Dunkirk veteran, previously owned by Sir Malcolm Campbell. The current owners have spent 10 years transforming her from a bare shell to a working, fully restored motor yacht that is the envy of all who see her. She has plenty of space on deck to entertain friends and a level of accommodation that will take care of all those who stay on board. She has clearly been well maintained and will look after any new owner wherever they may travel. A boat that will make any owner feel proud!
