https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/593/BORDER%20LEGEND BORDER LEGEND is a resurrected masterpiece from the sunset days of traditional #yachtbuilding in #Britain; when finely-built wooden yachts were still just about the norm, and their designers and #builders could call on a century or more of handed down skills. BORDER LEGEND's design by George McGruer is a natural #evolution from the renowned work of his father, James, and her build was by the last generations of a highly skilled workforce managed by the wider #McGruer family from the 1890s into the early 2000s. Among the last wooden yachts designed and built there in the early 1970s were three wholesome, elegant and fast 49-55 ft ketches. While the ocean passagemaking exploits of CUILAUN and TALISKER MHOR (ex CERESIO) have become legendary, their smaller sister, BORDER LEGEND (launched as GLORY B IV for furniture manufacturer W.J. Barton of Cheshire, later Hampshire), remained under the radar: a bona fide family cruiser, latterly Solent-based. Circumstances saw her fall on hard times before recent rescue and a major refit under current, experienced ownership - so that one of the finest, last generation wooden #yachts is now available for the pure enjoyment - and it can only be that - of her next owner.
This is your chance to own a timeless classic legend, this one spent 25 years in a barn before being discovered and getting a full refit. The current owner keeps her in a yacht club shed and has kept on upgrading her with the care and attention a boat like this deserves. Once you drive a Bertram you understand the unmatched ride and handling. The owner hates to part with her , but his growing family needs something bigger. Some updates include: updated lighting, new sound system, teak details on tables and counters, Edson steering wheel and drink holders, replaced carpets, professional bottom paint and polish, new zincs, rewired in 2017, Lenco tabs, new Faria gauge package upper helm, fuel tank replaced with a 78 gal aluminum tank, teak swimgrid with boarding ladder, drop curtain canvas.
