Broker's Comments

This is a classic boat built by J W Miller & Sons Ltd at their yard in St Monans, Fife. Miller Fifers were built in various sizes; this one is the 26', 6 tonner ketch. Known worldwide for the quality and craftsmanship of their vessels they are popular with classic wooden boat enthusiasts. Her compact size contributes to handling and maneuverability but her lineage from sturdy fishing boats built by J W Miller mean she is at home on open waters.

She requires some maintenance to bring her back to the best condition. She is an inspiring project for someone who appreciates the classics. Enjoy!
