More detail on this classic motor yacht for sale: woodenships.co.uk/motor-yacht/68-silvers-twin-screw-motor-yacht/
Built by James Silver & Co, Rosneath, Scotland in 1937 to a design by John Bain. Bain was the resident marine architect and subsequently became MD of the yard. He is well-known for his distinctive motor yacht designs which made the yard’s reputation.
This is one of 3 built to the same design and one of the largest vessels built in the yard.
She was an advanced design in her day with very modern lines and still has that enduring appeal of the period motor yacht.
The vessel has typical lines of her period with a long keel, raked stem and canoe stern.
Spacious aft deck with raised midships superstructure.
The vessel has been ashore in a dry dock for a number of years and has more recently been given an overhaul in present ownership, work which has now sadly come to a halt. Work has included refitting the deck and topsides with full detailed invoices available.
Her interior retains the same basic original layout as when she was launched and some mahogany joinery remains in the boat, however certain areas and cabins have been ripped out and altered. A new owner would take great pleasure in designing the interior to suit their own specific needs, retaining as much of the original as possible but creating a yacht fit for the modern world.
She has a pair of modern Perkins M135 diesels with very low hours.
This a superbly elegant yacht with a huge volume interior that could be refitted to an incredibly high standard and would look the part in any harbour around the world. A vast amount of time and money has gone into the boat in recent years, but a new custodian is now required to continue that effort and get her back to sea.
Described in the yachting press at the time of her launch as ‘one of the finest pleasure craft built on the Clyde’ she really is very special and has the potential to be a superb private yacht of the perfect size.
