RUDA - Lady Bee (Stow & Son) 39 ft Twin Screw Motor Yacht 1938/2017

RUDA was built from the best of materials and has perhaps the most characterful and deceptively spacious interior of any boat of this size we’ve seen. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/776/RUDA She's the fine result of an attempt, stymied by the Second World War, to re-boot the fortunes of one of England’s best yacht building traditions (the yard that built TALLY HO) with a high-quality entry into a motor cruiser market burgeoning through the 1930s, somehow unaffected by the Great Depression. In present ownership for over 30 years, RUDA has been very well cared for and proven, offering a comfortable, practical and elegant home for a 22,000 km Grand Tour of Northern European seas, rivers and canals, exploring as far east as Helsinki. Remarkably, this was powered by her original Ailsa Craig engines, now housed in a museum and relatively recently replaced by modern, economic Beta diesels.
