The Hillyard 13 Ton Ketch is a charismatic, traditional cruising yacht, designed and built by David Hillyard in 1977 and powered by a Perkins Sabre M65 65hp diesel.
Lucy Maud has been well maintained and has a good cruising inventory. Her current owners have made numerous upgrades and improvements including refurbished heads compartment, new galley, fridge, plumbing, rewire, solar panels, Houdini hatch to aft cabin and much more. The boat was lifted and antifouled in May 2024 and the engine recently serviced.
Very nice example with comfortable accommodation for up to five below deck, presented in very nice order and ready to go
