Harrison Butler Bogle

Price : £12000

Fairwind is a Harrison Butler Bogle class built in Barton on Humber in 1935. The design was drawn up in 1933 by Dr Harrison Butler for the Little Ship Club. Fairwind is one of 6 boats built to this design and has sailed to Russia and the Baltic, the Friesian Islands, and the South and East coasts of the UK. Harrison Butler was famed for using the Metacentric Principal of hull balance, and as a result Fairwind is a delight to sail, and holds her canvas well, yet is still light on the helm.
Her sister ship is Tradewind, which was sailed across the Atlantic and is now kept in America.
Fairwind is a 25 foot Bermudan Cutter.The owner has had her for over twenty years and she has been looked after by the Aldeburgh Boat Yard and the owner all that time. She has a Volvo Penta diesel engine reconditioned about 6 yrs ago and working well. Last year £12,000 was spent repairing stem post, renewing pintles for rudder, and renewing cockpit. She had new bronze keel bolts about 10 yrs ago and the mast was taken back to bare wood last year. She has a Quantum mainsail, with staysail and roller jib from Suffolk Sails. She has masthead VHF and masthead nav lights. She is very strongly built and a great sea boat. Planking is pitch pine on oak frames with a mahogany coach roof.She is a much-loved, beautiful and sea-friendly boat. The owner has the original bill of sale from when she was built, as well as letters from various owners. Now looking for a good home for her.
Currently Fairwind is in commission for the season and is on a swinging mooring on the River Alde,
