Broker's Comments
UPDATE OCTOBER 2022: The owner has decided to carry out a refurbishment of the boat during the winter of 2022/2023 this will include the removal of internal partitions creating an open single space inside the cabin area. The woodwork below will be prepared including the bilge. Review tanks. Renew all deck caulking and sand the deck. Paint the exterior coachroof, sand and varnish all brightwork. Sand and varnish the mast and boom. Lift the boat and clean the hull then apply a new antifoul. More details on request.
The Gauntlets are boats with respected history. The class was originally designed in 1934, when the first of these famous yachts were built in the Berthon boatyard in Lymington, on the English south coast. In all, 39 Gauntlets were built by the yard between 1934 and 1951. The design was for a fast, seaworthy, comfortable boat, easily handled by a small crew. The current owner has the boat rigged for single-handed sailing. A Beautiful classic wooden yacht needing some repairs and improvements. Owned by her current owner since 2008 when he sailed her from Scotland, round the UK and on to Barcelona.
