Broker Remarks
This yacht is a good example of an early South Coast One Design built in 1957 by Woodnuts on the Isle of White. This is a real classic yacht which has the additional head room offered by the raised doghouse containing the galley and chart table. She is built from Mahogany on oak with pine mast and spars. This particular SCOD has lots of history including starring in a Woody Allan film, appearing at the Earls Court Boat Show in 2007 and featured on the front cover of Classic Boat in June 2006. She is reluctantly being sold due to ill health. A 2016 survey report is available upon request.
