DESCRIPTION

"Klevia" a Danish gaff ketch built as a fishing vessel in Denmark by Jensen and Lauridsen, Esbjerg in 1936.

Major rebuild in 1995/6 by Neilsen & co. Gloucester with many new frames, lots of new planking and a complete new deck, deckhouse and interior.

Bought by the present professional shipwright owner in 2015, the vessel has subsequently had a major refit including major hull repairs, shortening of the deck house, a replacement engine, new rig, new interior and many new systems.  The vessel is now licensed for commercial activity under the MCA to Category 2 60 miles from safe haven.  She carries all gear and equipment required by the MCA.

The vessel also has a commercial cargo licence for carrying up to 1 ton of paying cargo which possibly makes her of interest to the recent sail cargo movement.

Licensed for 12 passengers and 3 crew, she is an easy boat to handle with the split ketch rig and a very handy size, big enough to give a decent interior volume and deck space but not so big as to be difficult to handle.  The deck house is an unusual feature that gives a deck saloon, galley and chart area all with excellent all round visibility, a sheltered warm space making passages in northern climates much easier for the crew.  It also increases the inside useable volume of the boat enormously.

An excellent example of the type, exceptionally pretty and well maintained by the professional owner. 

Would make a fantastic livaboard.
