Y53 Salcombe Yawl

We’re excited to present a unique opportunity to own ‘Alleron II’, a beautifully restored 1966 Salcombe Yawl. Built in Salcombe and named in the tradition of these iconic vessels (all named after birds), ‘Alleron II’ has undergone a significant restoration, making her a rare find for any sailing enthusiast. Key Features: Classic Construction: Built with mahogany planking on green oak ribs, ‘Alleron II’ boasts a timeless design. The restoration involved replacing four planks, 23 ribs, and all the decking with durable Sapele plywood. The quarters were meticulously rebuilt, and the transom has been reinforced for added strength. Rigging & Spars: Equipped with a cast iron lifting keel and pitch pine spars, she features both a main mast and a mizzen mast, along with a bowsprit. Restoration Potential: The vessel comes with a suit of sails, which, while past their prime, can serve as excellent templates for new ones. An assortment of deck fittings is included, allowing the new owner the flexibility to update and position them to their preference. Trailer: The trailer, purchased new, has never been immersed and is in excellent condition. Modern Adaptation: There’s potential to adapt the hull to accommodate an electric motor, offering a modern twist to this classic vessel. ‘Alleron II’ is more than just a boat; she’s a piece of maritime history with a character that shines through her every plank and spar. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor looking to restore a classic or a newcomer wanting to own a piece of the past, ‘Alleron II’ offers a perfect blend of tradition and opportunity. Please note, this vessel is not lying Brighton Marina, all viewings by appointment only please.
