Description
1902 Summers and Payne gaff sloop. A very special yacht that was given to the Sycamore family by King George V (‘Syccy’ -Capt Edward Sycamore was skipper of Britannia and also Shamrock - Sir Thomas Lipton’s J Class Yacht) In Sycamore ownership until 2000 when I acquired her. She looks much larger than her 16 feet. A true classic yacht in miniature. Beautifully built and maintained. After much research small bilge keels were fitted (with suitable internal strengthening) by Tim Gilmore to allow her to dry out and sit upright. These can be easily removed with no trace. They have not affected sailing performance at all. Brand new Gowen cream (unused) suit of sails and bunks included. Gowen were the original sailmakers. Teal is listed in Lloyds register of yachts. She has been carefully preserved out of the water. Very reluctant sale This boat is a real piece of history, I am sad to sell but I must. offers considered. Larry Rumbol
