She was originally for sale at £36,000 then reduced. I need to move her this spring so open to any reasonable offer. Mairi Bahan was designed as 26-foot gaff rigged day racer by (Uncle Rouse) H. S Rouse, Vice-Commodore of the Hong Kong Yacht Club and a yacht designer. Converted to Bermudan on the 60s. Around six of his yachts are thought to have survived into the second Millennium.

A beautiful and unique 24' Gaff Cutter built by Elkins of Christchurch circa 1934. 'Withy' might be a classic design but she has been brought into the modern day with the installation of an electric engine - a 48v, 4kw Krautler Saildrive motor. The perfect way to explore the harbour and local coastline with a minimal carbon footprint. You'll get 5 hours on a full charge, and keep the boat plugged in on the pontoon and the 8 batteries will self regulate their charging. The ideal day boat, but if you do decide to stop overnight the coach roof is hinged to provide more headroom an... read more
