Description
January 2025 Priced Reduced to £9,750 This beautiful Classic sailing yacht has a wonderful pedigree. In her very early years, she was attributed to Harrison Butler, most likely mistaken for a Z4 tonner. Her design is rightly attributed to JW& A Uphams of Brixham, who developed her during and after the war from 1939. She is recognised as a prototype for the Waterbug Class of which 16 were built. Although similar in design to the Z4 her length overall is a little longer. She has benefits from an extended Bumkin which affords her a lovely masthead mainsail on standing backstays. All of which contribute to a wonderful sailing experience from another time. Fitted with an eminently reliable Bukh DV10, diesel engine. She makes for a very comfortable cruising boat providing accommodation for two adult berths in the saloon and two pipe cots in the fore peak. Her interior is charming, simply panelled out in waxed timber to reflect the unvarnished teak coach roof sides which are perforated by original bronze portholes. A small galley with a paraffin stove. An original Baby Blake is in the forepeak along with sail lockers and a small wash hand basin. She is currently ashore at Rye (near The Strand) and is available for viewing.
