Broker's Comments

Register with Boatshed to see 51 extra photos of this Hillyard 2.5 Tonner

We are delighted to be presenting this little Hillyard, which has been built for 30 years from the early 1920's and has proven to be incredibly popular and renowned for being sea kindly and responsive and ideal for beginners and enthusiasts alike. Quoted by many as 'an ideal day boat or coastal cruiser'.

The accommodation includes two generous berths, sitting headroom, plenty of stowage and galley, with a nice sized recently refurbished deep cockpit and commented by the current owner, as an easy to handle rig.

In this ownership, she appears to have been looked after, with recent upgrades including servicing of the mast and rig and painting of the hull, as detailed. She also comes with an owner's log and photographs from 1960's. There are also owner's photographs available of her time ashore this year, on request.

If you would like any further information, or to request a personal viewing, please do contact our office and we would be pleased to help.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
