It may be hard to understand just how revolutionary SKYE’s original Daimler petroleum internal combustion power plant was when she was new. It’s a remarkable fact that when this beautiful launch was first commissioned - we educatedly guess, in 1895 - there may have been as few as 14 or 15 internal combustion engine powered motor cars on Britain’s roads. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/740/SKYE Beautifully built by one of the Firth of Clyde’s finest small craft builders, she spent her first 115 years with the same family on the Isle of Skye, about 65 of them laid up in a nicely salty boathouse. SKYE was the find of a lifetime for meticulous and experienced boat restorer Chris Cracknell. Her next owner - only her third - takes on not only a remarkable piece of maritime history, but also a beautiful example of careful restoration.

Installing teak counter rails in the galley of our Tanzer22 liveaboard. Watch us as we upgrade this 45 year old sailboat and make it into our tiny liveaboard home. Starting as a weekender, then monthly and eventually building into a full time floating home around the Caribbean!
