Classic Yacht Brokerage Comments on this 32′ Twin Screw Motor Yacht
Twin screw motor yacht built in Conwy, North Wales, in 1965.
Excellent for river cruising and live aboard, she has also been used in the Bristol channel in present ownership.
Bought in 2011 by the current owner, a major refit was carried out immediately preceding that which including a complete new deck. The hull was stripped to bare wood and very few issues discovered.
Since then a new transom was constructed in 2017 and the boat totally re-wired in 2021. The starboard engine was rebuilt with a new gearbox.
At 32’ she offers a lot of space and volume for the length with a large covered aft cockpit, good headroom and generous beam. 4 berths is ample for a boat of this size and type, and with most of the living time spent in the cockpit with its excellent tent, this boat has more than enough space for a liveaboard boat and long term cruising.
2017 survey available.
