Built Canvey Island 1959. Selling our much loved Holly Blue, a classic boat ideal for shallow waters with a lifting keel/centreboard (replaced with a galvanised plate in 2022) and lots of room below decks for those nights aboard.
Wood clinker construction mahogany on oak. Cream painted hull sanded and re-painted in 2023. Varnished cockpit and cabin, well maintained.
Double V berth in for peak and 2 single berths in main cabin, blue velour upholstery in good condition.
6 bronze port lights. Galley area with Taylor’s stove. Varnished folding table over centre board casing.
Automatic and manual bilge pump. Cockpit cover in need of minor repairs. Boom tent, good condition. Ample cockpit lockers, various fenders.
10hp Beta Diesel onboard engine, regularly serviced. 12v battery plus spare.
Gunter rig, mainsail good condition, jib in tan from Jeckells in 2019, roller reefing. Wooden mast and boom, good condition. Sail cover, fair.
Wintered ashore and professionally maintained.
A sad forced sale of this gem of a boat hence priced for a quick sale.
