Description




Introducing Kimberley, a beautifully proportioned classic yacht designed by renowned naval architect John Alden. Kimberley is a striking 1959 Malabar Senior and she carries every ounce of the grace, pedigree and quiet confidence that defines a true classic. She has had a phenomenal no expense spared refit inside and out, preserving her soul while ensuring she remains ready for many more seasons. Restoring an old boat to its former glory is an act of devotion. It demands time, effort, and patience—not in small measures, but in steady, unwavering commitment. Every scar in the wood, every faded line, carries the weight of years, and bringing it back is not just repair—it is renewal.And when it finally meets the water again, it is no longer just a vessel. It is a testament—to resilience, to care, and to the quiet power of refusing to let something meaningful be lost.Built in solid teak, she is everything a proper yacht should be — solid beneath your feet, responsive on the helm, and utterly timeless in presence. Her long keel gives her that steady, reassuring motion at sea, while her Bermudan rig delivers elegant, effortless performance. All lines led aft for single handed safe sailing.Kimberley presents in pristine condition for her age. This is not a boat for hiding away in a Marina. Kimberley was made to be seen under sail —an iconic classic American yacht, slicing cleanly through the water, drawing admiring glances wherever she goes. She has won several Regattas including Fowey classics and Falmouth Classics 3 times Step aboard and step into another era — one of craftsmanship, tradition and real sailing.RigSloopSLOOP RIGHalyards led to deck organiser port coach roof to cockpit Mast is a Noble sparStainless steel fittings Visaball reflector Tri White Flag halyard of mast hoist 2 x signal flag halyardsNew forestry unused but fittedHarken Twin track foil /furler Harken mast track with bearing cars Park avenue Boom in Carbon fibre Half track system fitted for Boom StaysailShafer gear all round Steaming light & guard Tidy bag Canvas bags for rope endsSAILSSails By Penrose Fully battened Main on cars Lazy jacks Self tacking Staysail with Harken track & Car/single aft led sheetNo 1 Yankee Cruising Chute with slinky Mainsail cover WINCHES2 x Primary Lewmar 40’s self tailers2 x Antel self tailersAntel snubbing winch Broker commentsBuilt in traditional carvel construction, she features solid teak, offering both strength and classic aesthetic appeal.
