Here is a rare old girl. A West Solent Restricted One-Design Class - or a W Class ! Built by Berthons between the Wars with fleets in Burnham and the Solent.

She is narrow, fast and probably a bit wet to sail. Accommodation below is sacrificed for performance.

She appears to be in sound condition and her planking is tight. The fact she is in this condition is due to the high quality materials she was built from.

The reality is that, although she appears sound, she is in need of a new owner to fall in love with her and spend some money on her.

Once restored, she would make a brilliant classic racer - and she would turn heads wherever she sailed.

These boat details are subject to contract.

Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
