Owner's Comment

Silver Cloud is a very spacious, comfortable and strongly built yacht which is very stable in rough weather. Her cockpit is large and comfortable and is accessible from the rear. She is well capable of nine knots on a beam reach in F4 on a smoothish sea.

The mainsail has single line reefing, both lines being led back to the cockpit, one to a manual winch and the other to an electric winch. which provides great flexibility in the amount of reef put in.

She has the great benefit of a large sail locker just aft of the anchor locker which has ample room for the dinghy, spinnaker and all the fenders leaving the cockpit lockers free for ropes and many miscellaneous items. Inside she has wardrobes in each cabin and plenty of storage lockers.

She has been well looked after and is in very good condition. During my ownership I have replaced the folding propeller hub (April 2022), the spinnaker halyard (April 2022)the battery charger (June 2024), the in-mast wind transducer cable (June 2024) and four of the five engine/domestic batteries (July 2024). The genoa and the sprayhood were overhauled during winter 2023/2024 new visibility panels being fitted to the sprayhood. She has been antifouled every winter and the anodes have been replaced at the same time. The topsides and transom were professionally polished when she was out of the water in the winter. The standing rigging, which is stainless steel wire of the compacted type, was professionally inspected in 2022 and 2023 and given a clean bill of health on both occasions.

I am only selling her because I am now in my eighties and have decided that it is time to hang up my oiliies. She will therefore come with a large inventory, domestic and technical, and so is ready to go to sea with her new owner.
