Description
Classic Gentleman’s Wooden Motor Yacht: Lady Kathryn. Built in 1929, this exquisite classic twin-screw wooden motor yacht, known as Lady Kathryn, is rich in history. In 1940, the Admiralty requisitioned it, and it is widely believed to have played a role in the Dunkirk evacuation during Operation Dynamo that same year. The vessel is powered by twin Perkins P6 130HP diesel engines and offers a total of 4 berths, including one double berth and a further 2 single berths across two cabins. The stern of the vessel offers a galley leading on to a large room that currently has a dining table for at least 6 people. The vessel offers a unique opportunity to own part of history as well as make a stunning cruising motorboat or live aboard. The vessel also appeared in the 2014 remake of Whisky Galore as the customs cutter. The owner is open to offers, as they have now found another boat.
