Broker's Comments

Alan Buchanan is a well-respected post-war designer of seaworthy wooden boats.

This example is notable for being lovingly maintained by her liveaboard shipwright owner for 30 years. This included a refit completed in 2016. He had to return to the UK from the Caribbean but has left the boat in careful capable hands.

She is clinker-built mahogany, epoxy sheathed by her owner 10 years ago.

Suitable for liveaboard use or weekend cruising, systems are simple so have low maintenance demands and enable self-sufficiency. She comes complete with sails, tools and nesting sailing dinghy.

I went on board after a few weeks of heavy rain and saw no sign of water or damp, either in the bilge or through hatches/ports.
