Description
Classic Gentleman’s Wooden Motor Yacht: Lady KathrynBuilt in 1929, this exquisite classic twin-screw wooden motor yacht, known as Lady Kathryn, is rich in history. Requisitioned by the Admiralty in 1940, it is widely believed to have played a role in the Dunkirk evacuation during Operation Dynamo that same year. The vessel is powered by twin Perkins P6 130HP diesel engines and offers a total of 4 berths, with one as a double berth and a further 2 single berths over two cabins. The stern of the vessel offers a galley leading on to a large room that currently has a dining table for at least 6 people. The vessel offers a unique opportunity to own part of history as well as make a stunning cruising motorboat or live aboard. The vessel has also started in the remake of Whisky Galore 2014 as the customs cutter.Recent works2025 Port & starboard engines serviced, including impellers New exhaust on port engine New anodes Planking checked and planks replaced as required Full sand down and repaint New bilge sensor2024 All old wiring removed in engine room and rewired 2 new heavy duty batteries with remote charger 2 new voltmeters Mid-Feb: new marine ply flooring in engine room Handrails have been sanded/varnished Mast currently being sanded/varnished and stored at Spirit Dickinson heater has been stripped and serviced— perfect working order The stern gas locker is about to be sanded/varnished.
