Broker's Comments
This craft has rigid buoyancy built-in and is certified as a category C craft for three persons under the EU recreational craft directive.
Like all Character Boats the Lytham Pilot can be launched with the rudder and engine in place, as they are protected by the keel, and therefore can be sailed immediately afloat without the hassle of getting into deeper water to ship a rudder or lower a centre-plate.
This appears a very sturdy boat with a reputation for good sailing performance. It looks ideal for teaching children to sail, or for someone who wants a small but stable and forgiving craft.
This Lytham Pilot is available with both a Gaff Rig and a Gunter rig. She has two mast positions allowing use of either as a single sail rig with the mast forward for simple leisurely sailing or with the mast aft for a gaff sloop rig. The boat is well balanced under either sail plan. The spars are a similar length to the boat, making for easy transport.
The Lytham Pilot has a stowage locker under the foredeck and an aft locker which is large enough to store a small 4 stroke outboard engine, its bracket and spare fuel.
The engine is mounted on a removable bracket which simply slots into a base plate mounted on the transom, which is less obtrusive than a permanent bracket.
Oars are stowed along the side seating leaving the cockpit unobstructed. The boat comes with associated warps and equipment to get her on the water.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
