40′ Bermudan Cruising Ketch

Classic Yacht Brokerage Comments on this 40′ Bermudan Cruising Ketch

40’ Bermudan ketch designed by Irishman G. O’Brian Kennedy, better known for his popular little sloop the Lymington Slipway.

The keel was laid and the hull built by well known yard Harold Kimber, Somerset in 1964 but the yacht was never completed.

She was finally completed and commissioned by Tideway Marine, Salcombe in 1980 for a Hampshire hotel owner who cruised the boat to the Med and used her for light charter work.

In the present ownership the yacht has undergone some significant refit work, including a new deck in 2015, and has been cruised extensively with trips to the Med, Azores and numerous voyages around the UK and northern European coasts.  Much of this has been done single handed proving her as an easily handled and safe yacht even in very severe weather conditions that she experienced.

A very tough and capable yacht that has proved herself in classic regatta events as well as long distance ocean sailing with a well documented refit history.
