A gentleman’s yacht with history – built in 1965 for Roger Pilkington of the glass family to explore the European Waterways. She comes complete with books from the “Small Boat” series written by Pilkington describing her build and fitting out on the Thames and their travels of many of the European waterways.
She is essentially fitted out to live aboard comfortably with all facilities including heating and a full size domestic washing machine. She has been our home for the past eleven years whilst cruising extensively in the south of England, northern France and the inland waterways of France, Belgium and Holland. Family commitments have pulled us back to UK and ashore.
