45 foot Inchcape motor sailer built by the Eyemouth Boatbuilding Company in 1964.
The Inchcape range of motor sailer designs resulted from a collaboration between Jack Francis Jones and James Evans of Eyemouth Boatbuilding Company, who built the Inchcapes at their yard in Berwickshire.
His designs were inspired by the Scottish fishing boats, which were built to be robust, powerful and seaworthy vessels capable of working in the North Sea and North Atlantic all year round; Evans wanted to replicate these virtues in a pleasure yacht so that owners had the comfort of a yacht with the strength and peace of mind of a fishing boat. They achieved this blend and came up with a variety of sizes, the Inchcape 45 being one of the more popular of the range.
This yacht has been in the present ownership since 1997 and based on the west coast of Scotland where she has cruised extensively with the family.
Fitted with the superb Gardner 6LW giving reliable, quiet and efficient propulsion.
Very spacious interior with 7 berths in 3 cabins and up to 6’10” headroom in the saloon.
These boats are excellent live aboard cruising yachts, providing plenty of comfortable interior space and a boat capable of cruising in all weather states.
