DESCRIPTION

Wooden Ships Comments on this Thornycroft Single Screw Motor Yacht

Rampart single screw motor yacht, designed by J. I. Thornycroft Ltd and built by Rampart Boat Building Co. in 1958.

Ramparts were prolific builders of elegant motor yachts in the UK. This is one of their smaller designs with single engine, but offers a lot in terms of aesthetics and ergonomics. The large aft cockpit, which can be covered when in the rain, gives a comfortable outside/inside space, while the cabin with excellent headroom offers 4 good berths in a cabin that still has a lot of original joinery.

Bought by the present owner in 2001, she underwent a major refit which finished in 2002. This involved some areas of new planking, some new sistered frames and refastening of the hull. Since this first refit she has been steadily upgraded and improved including a 2006 Yanmar diesel.

This is a yacht that has been in a very diligent and caring ownership for nearly 25 years and this detailed attention is clear to see in the finish and presentation of the boat.

Well maintained and regularly used motor yacht only for sale due to ill health. Sensibly priced with a 2023 survey.
