Description:

Wooden Ships Comments on this Rampart 48 Motor Yacht Rampart 48 twin screw motor yacht built by the Rampart Boat Building co. In 1960 to a design by Horace Desty. Ramparts were a successful yard that grew up out of the desire for elegant motor yachts in a booming economy. Ramparts and others catered for this with attractive well built vessels offering separate sleeping cabins, more than one heads compartment and plenty of entertaining space. This example is a handy 48’ and has an attractive aft birdpit accessed from the main saloon which is aft of the wheelhouse. This is a slightly different concept of design compared to many other boats of the period which traditionally had the owners accommodation back aft, but by having a saloon joining the aft birdpit makes for an attractive cruising boat. Sadly some neglect in the previous ownership means fresh water ingress has caused soft timber in the topside planking, with some frame heads and short sections of beam shelf affected. It is advised a buyer engages a qualified surveyor to uncover the exact extent of the refit work required. The boat is being offered for sensible money to take into account the refit work needed. She is afloat and mobile under her own power. There is a marina nearby with a suitable travel hoist to lift her out of the water and lorry access to enable road transport to the buyers chosen destination.
