Description:
It's not often I struggle with where to begin when writing my Broker's comments but this Alan Buchanan Vashti Class yacht simply stopped me in my tracks when I first stepped aboard. The quality of the craftsmanship of this yacht has to be seen to be fully appreciated. In my opinion she is one of the most beautifully handcrafted yachts I have ever come across. The current owners purchased this yacht over twenty years ago. They had a clear vision then which has taken them over twenty years of hard work and painstaking attention to detail. One of the owners has spent his entire life as professional boatbuilder having been apprenticed by his father to build boats to Lloyds standard. And you can certainly see that lifetime of craftsmanship and skill in every aspect of this yacht. In fact, the owners have told me that she has in fact been rebuilt from the keel up and so in effect, she is a brand new boat. And that is certainly the feeling I got from the time spent onboard. During the rebuilding and renovation of this yacht, the owners even met with the original designer Alan Buchanan and had meetings to discuss the boat's ongoing renovation to ensure that they met with his approval, which they did! Whilst walking around the deck of this boat what struck me, apart from her beautiful lines and craftsmanship, was the rich, deep contrasting colours of the different woods and the deep shine through the thick protective varnish. This, mixed in with the highly polished chrome of the windows, portholes and winches, just made her whole appearance an absolute joy to behold. Stepping into the deep, wide birdpit, again the craftsmanship and attention to detail is just lovely. The birdpit also benefits from a dog house built onto the coachroof which, when combined with the birdpit tent, provides great protection when sailing or moored up in inclement weather. Stepping down below into the saloon galley area, again the richness of the different timbers and. Still available at ListedBuy!
