Description

Launched in 1959 the Motor Yacht FORTUNA II was designed by Fredrick R Parker and built by the highly regarded Nunn Brothers yard on the river Deben. Commissioned by and built for her original owner she was classed Lloyds ✠100 A1 when launched. Fortuna II has been Part 1 UK ship registered from new and this has been continued by her present owner. Found by her current owners languishing in the Exeter canal basin she was brought ashore at the Baltic Wharf yard in 2013 and four-and-a-half-year long restoration project commenced. With the boat stripped back to a bare hull inside and out, every part of the boat was either refurbished or replaced. The attention to detail in every aspect of the rebuild is exceptional, from the custom-made, sculpted oak seating in the pilothouse to the intricate wiring, concealed within copper piping with custom-made oak switch mountings. While great care has been taken to maintain the appearance of the traditional design, modern systems have been integrated for extended self-sufficiency. Still in regular use cruising the coast and islands of Scotland's West Coast, FORTUNA II will be available for viewing by appointment in the Argyll area.
