Description:

Wooden Ships Comments on this 31′ Kim Holman Sloop A classic 31ft Kim Holman designed yacht, built in 1962 by Tucker Brown Yacht Builders of Burnham on Crouch, Esinteraction Being offered for sale at a very low price due to circumstances of the owner, not because the yacht is in a poor state. The yacht was designed by Kim Holman for his friend Mr. Richard (partie) Bird as a 21 st birthday present for his son John. Richard Bird was a very keen and wealthy yachtsman, as well as Commodore of the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club, Burnham on Crouch. This superb yacht was purpose built for cruising and racing. She remained in the ownership of John Bird for 45 years, before passing into the ownership of Howard and Robert Bryson in 2007 and to the current owners in 2012. She was the first Holman 31 following on from the design of the Stella, but larger and followed closely by the Twister and the North Sea 24. She has obviously been a much-loved boat and sailed extensively over the years. She has been a successful club racer and cruising boat and has won several West Mersea regattas. She is an extremely attractive design and her current owner has copies of the original design drawings. She is a well maintained boat in near original condition with some modern equipment to facilitate safe handling, navigation and comfortable cruising. Being offered at a very low and attractive price due to the sad passing of the owner, the family wish to see her in a deserving new ownership as soon as possible.
