Description

It’s believed KERLO is the result of a design competition run by the Royal Swedish Yacht club in the late 1930’s. The competition was designed to stimulate innovation in the design and building of cruising yachts from the countries then younger naval architects. The winning design she was built and then given away as the prize in the club's 1939 annual raffle. The lucky winner was a Scottish sailor based in Edinburgh and the boat arrived in the UK shortly before the start of WWII. A now familiar sight in Scottish waters KERLO has been enjoyed by owners based around Scotland with her being based on the East Coast originally before migrating to the waters of the west coast where she has been for the last 30+ years. Purchased by her current owners in 2022 KERLO has benefitted from a rigorous maintenance regime in the last couple of years with some sensitive modernising and upgrading of her equipment. Now reluctantly offered for sale as her current owners look for a larger classic yacht her inventory highlights include: Carvel Mahogany planked hull on Oak and steel frames Decks, deck beams and carlings all replaced in approximately 2000 New coachroof windows fitted 2022 Rudder re-built winter 2015/16 Topsides painted spring 2024 Brightwork freshly coated spring 2024 Volvo Penta MD2002 with two-blade folding prop Raymarine autopilot Raymarine i70S Tridata Display (2023) Standard Horizon Explorer DSC VHF New saloon upholstery 2023 Alloy mast and spars New sails by MC Sails fitted 2023, very limited use since New stackpack type mainsail cover with lazyjackes fitted 2023 Full running rigging replacement summer 2023 Self-tailing primary winches Still in active use by her owners KERLO is available for viewing on her summer mooring at Linnhe Marine, Argyll and has shed storage space booked for winter 2024-25 at Silvers Marine, Roseneath.
