Lone Gull ll
This is the original Lone Gull ll built in 1961 by Harry Feltenham.
She was designed by Maurice Griffiths the famous yacht designer and editer of Yachting Monthly. e designed and had her built for him and his wife to cruise aboard. She was a sufferer of sea sickness but was delighted to find that her husbands latest creation had such a kindly motion that her stomach remained intact.
We have had her in our yard for some time as a yard project but pressures of running a successful and growing business with so many interesting projects has meant that poor Lone Gull as not had much attention.

We were originally going to restore her for our own use but now due to circumstances she is for sale. We would like to finnish her for her new owners but would sell her as is.
The hull is in fairly good order and we are in the process of renewing deck and deck beams and doing other smaller repairs. She has a farryman diesel fitted.
Progress has been more start than stop but a couple of months full time work in the yard would see her in the water.
