Description:

Wooden Ships Comments on this Laurent Giles Vertue 25’ Laurent Giles Vertue No. 132 built in 1964 by John Perry of Cosham. John Perry built two Vertues and was a renowned boat builder with an excellent reputation for producing high quality boats. Judging by the list of materials used in the build of this boat the original owner wanted a top quality yacht and was willing to pay for it. The commissioning owner, Henry Claude Lyon Garnett CBE was a Major in the Royal Horse Guards. The build was carried out under hands-on supervision of the Laurent Giles office with weekly visits to inspect progress and ensure the boat was being built to their exacting standards. A superb example of the class planked entirely of teak and built to the highest standards. Sold to the last 2 owners by Wooden Ships. In current ownership since 2011 during which time she has had some major upgrades including new engine, new mast, new keel and floor bolts, re-payed deck and thorough re-painting inside and out. This yacht comes with all her history and paperwork back to 1964 and a full photo record of all work done in the present ownership. This is a very fine example of the Vertue in lovely condition with a long record of professional refit work carried out in the last 12 years.
