Broker's Comments
A truly superb classic racing/cruiser this Berthon Gauntlet has been well cared for by her current owner. The space inside is marvellous and attention to detail is clear to see. In the cabin she has masses of storage and maintains the charming original features including the paraffin stove. At the same time the boat is well equipped for serious sailing with a range of navigation equipment neatly packed into a superb navigation table. On deck she matches all that is going on below deck with a good array of sails and deck gear.
The owner has in his possession copies of the original plans and specification lists as well as the original certificate of entry into the ships register dated 1949. This is one of those must see boats so contact us now for more details.
