Motor Sailor Yacht 39 feet live aboard boat for luxury cruising
We bought Silver Surf early in . The previous owner had lovingly and expertly converted her from a spratt fishing boat based near Ipswich into a luxury ketch cruising yacht. Now based in the west coast of Scotland. A chance to own a piece of history, one of a pair of fishing vessels built in designed for spratt fishing and used mainly on the east coast up to the early 80's. Then left abandoned and picked-up by a yard (Douglas Boatyard, Preston, Lancs) and converted into the attractive ketch-rigged motor-sailor as seen today. Roomy & tough with a classic wooden construction & finish, she is a pretty boat that is ideally suited for coastal cruising and/or liveaboard use. She is a head-turner wherever she goes.
