Description
Remarks :This Yacht is a remarkable classic sailing yacht, built in 1962 by the prestigious Yarrow & Co. and designed by renowned naval architect W. McPherson Campbell. Constructed in steel, she represents one of the finest examples of mid-20th-century yacht design and craftsmanship. Originally built by commission of the British Royal Family, offering exceptional pedigree and presence. Rigged as a Bermuda ketch, she was for many years the largest steel auxiliary ketch built in Scotland. Her exceptional design and construction were internationally recognised when she was awarded the Lloyd’s Register “Yacht of the Year” Trophy in 1962, winning the award against 86 competing yachts Today, she is based in Barcelona, cruising Spanish waters and the Western Mediterranean. She combines timeless elegance, proven seaworthiness, and historical prestige, making her a truly unique classic yacht. She is nowadays well-equipped and maintained. The bright deck saloon, large bridge, and her ample semi-protected outside dining area are the major features. This yacht offers a rare opportunity to acquire a historically significant, commercially certified classic yacht that combines heritage, operational capability, and proven charter potential. She represents an excellent opportunity for a business-oriented buyer, as she is currently licensed to carry up to 65 passengers plus 5 crew for coastal day outings. This classic yacht is a true blue-water, long-distance gentleman’s cruising yacht with an outstanding pedigree. She has participated in several classic yacht events and is well-suited to serve as a hospitality or spectator yacht. She would also make an exceptional mothership for a racing team or support vessel for regattas and events. During the winter of 2018/2019, the yacht underwent a major refit, including extensive hull plating, repairs to the fuel and water tanks, and a complete deck refurbishment. All deck caulking was renewed, and teak planking was replaced as needed to ensure structural integrity and aesthetic quality. She features three decks and six double cabins, two dining salons accommodating 14 and 10 guests, respectively, and a large main lounge. The yacht is perfectly suited for events and hospitality, with capacity for up to 65 guests while cruising and up to 80 guests while berthed.

Condition & Compliance Regular annual inspections passed Five-year inspections completed as required All statutory certificates are available for confidential review Fully compliant and actively operating The vessel is a passenger boat and is therefore subject to mandatory annual regulatory inspections. In this context, the vessel is hauled out every year (dry dock), taken out of the water for a full inspection and the corresponding maintenance works. Additionally, a special survey is carried out every five years, which was completed in 2025. During that survey, among other checks, hull thickness measurements were performed using ultrasonic testing, successfully meeting all required standards. Regarding antifouling, the last application was carried out in 2023. However, we would like to inform you that in February 2026 the vessel will enter dry dock again for the annual inspection. At that time, the entire hull will be inspected once more and any necessary maintenance will be performed, including antifouling,
