Broker's Comments
Boatshed Cornwall have pleasure in listing this McGruer 11TM Bermudan Ketch. A true wooden yacht of pitch pine on oak frames.
It is understood this particular yacht was influenced by the original owner with the inclusion of the dog house. This yacht has been sympathetically restored during the last three years and is a yacht with a fine bow and a lovely elliptical counter stern.
It was clear from first impressions that a lot of work has been done to present this McGruer. Once onboard it was no different. A very clean, modern interior yet in no way hides the historic nature of this yacht.
Much has been done, yet things of note are:
Renewed sail locker (2024)
Renewed standing rigging (2024)
Replaced refurbished engine (2021)
Renewed cooker (2024)
Renewed Fridge (2024)
If you are looking for an historic wooden yacht that may simply need to be recommissioned then this is one that should be high on your list and a viewing is highly recommended.
These boat details are subject to contract.
