Broker's Comments
This beautiful vessel was conceived by UK designer, Charles Livingstone, in the late 1890's. Aside from other design achievements, Livingstone was also on the UK Americas Cup committee of the day.
She was built by Bond of Birkenhead, and finished in 1898.
She was engine-less for her first 20 years, and then had a small unit installed in 1920.
Originally rigged as a gaff cutter, she was altered in 1936 to be rigged as a ketch.
There passed some time with sporadic use, the odd trip from the Solway to Northern Ireland, and some training sails with the Sea Scouts, before a period of being used as a houseboat in the late 1960's.
She remained based in the Oban area, until the current owner found her in 2003. At this time, she still had a ketch rig.
She was transported to Mallorca, and restored to her original rig, and splendour, and has been cruised and raced as a family boat ever since. The family are now moving further afield, hence the fact that she on the market.
These boat details are subject to contract.
