Broker's Comments
We at Boatshed Cornwall are pleased to list this Vertue II sailing yacht. A subsequent variation to the original 1939 wooden design by Laurent Giles. This version is of GRP construction yet still retains the feel of a wooden hull once onboard.
We inspected this Vertue II at the ashore storage location and first impressions revealed a yacht that may not have been used much recently. However, once onboard the interior was clean and tidy indicating that it has been looked after.
These Virtues are regarded as a good single hander and have undertaken many long distance voyages. Whilst this example may be in need of some attention it is a fine example and should be regarded as an option.
Viewing is recommended.
