Broker's Comments
This charming 1936 Cooper 6 Tonner, designed by A. Bellingham and built by Charles Cooper of Teynham, is a true classic yacht with a rich history and timeless appeal.
She has been on the hard and does require some TLC.
With an overall length of 8.69 meters and a robust wooden carvel construction, this vessel is a testament to traditional craftsmanship and enduring quality. Her long keel underwater profile ensures excellent stability and seaworthiness, making her a reliable choice for coastal cruising and beyond.
Powered by a Beta 20hp diesel engine installed in 2010 and serviced in 2023, this yacht offers dependable performance. The engine is complemented by a 3-blade fixed propeller and tiller steering, providing a hands-on sailing experience that enthusiasts of classic yachts will appreciate.
The vessel was always well-maintained until recently due to ill health, with recent antifouling completed in 2024, ensuring the hull is ready for the water.
Accommodation on board is cozy and functional, with four single berths and a 2-burner gas cooker/stove, making her ideal for short trips or weekend getaways.
The sloop rig, featuring Nat Wilson wood spars from 1995 and stainless steel standing rigging, is both elegant and practical. A Leitch furling headsail from 2005 simplifies sail handling, while the original sails for the cutter rig remain available, offering versatility for different sailing conditions.
The electrical system is supported by a 12-volt battery setup, with four batteries charged by the engine and shore power, ensuring all your onboard electrical needs are met.
With a fuel capacity of 40 litres, this yacht is well-suited for extended voyages around the UK including the stunning West Coast of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, as her previous owner has done over the past 30+ years.
This Cooper 6 Tonner is a rare find, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of maritime history. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a classic yacht enthusiast, this vessel promises many more years of enjoyable sailing.
Currently lying at Loch Fyne, she awaits her next custodian to continue her legacy. Offers on the asking price may be considered, so don't miss the chance to make this classic yacht your own.
