This Custom Motorsailer was built by Sessions Marine Ltd, Crosshaven in Co Cork in 1955. It has a very interesting history provided by the current owner. Once owned by Alistair Maclean (the writer). After Alistair Maclean sold her she was owned by Daks the clothing company and used in St Tropez for many years.
She underwent a major refit in 2000-2005 with over €900,000 spent. Works were carried out at the St Malo yard, Chantier Naval Etoile Marine, who were the successors to the well known Chantier L'Abbe, who had refitted the Pen Duick yachts of the famous yachtsman Eric Tabarly, much of the ancillary equipment was fitted at this time. Further work was carried out in Denmark. Works also included fitting a new stem and new teak decks.
She spent three years in Guernsey where she was re-caulked, the work was undertaken by the late John Cluett at the Marine & General boatyard. The steering was removed and renovated.
The boat was hauled in Granville France from October to January 2024 where extensive work was carried out including replacement of all garboard planks and two planks above this. She also had 25% of Portside ( topsides) from stem back re-planked and new bulwark from port bow to past mid ships, plus other work. The complete boat has recently been inspected and some work carried out including wiring, new bilge pumps, new engine alternator, new hydraulics for bow thruster and other minor works.
The yacht has had extensive cruising. This took her to England, Ireland, Scotland, Norway and most of the Baltic countries. Some work was done at the well known wooden boatyard, Ring Andersen in Denmark.
