Broker's Comments

These boat details are subject to contract.
This lovely wooden boat will appeal to a special type of person who appreciates her wonderful lines and the true value of such a functional, yet beautiful time piece. Her name translates to Sound of the Sea and she is a beauty. By todays standards this vessel would cost around £200,000 to build today. This is a truly adorable vessel that has been the subject of much refurbishement over the years as you will be able to tell from the photographs. The potential owner for this vessel will truly appreciate, quality, history and boat building at its best with this unique wooden vessel.
