OWNERS COMMENTS

"Secret of Hamford" was purchased by her present owner in 2023. She has been ashore for most of her life, supplied as a Northshore completed boat without a rig, then refurbished under present and previous ownership. Her sails, rigging, canvas work and instrumentation are all nearly new. Regretfully, ill health forces her sale.
