William Garden Porpoise Ketch – a rare opportunity to own a truly beautiful, well-found and cared-for timber classic ketch in very sound condition, single owner for 44 years
Exceptional, intimate teak interior with old-school craftsmanship. She has just arrived in New Zealand after a cruise through the Pacific.
Quality bronze hardware and fittings, spars and rigging in excellent condition. New halyards and wiring in the mast. New Willis sails: mizzen, main, staysail, working jib, also older Genoa in good condition.
Low hours (1000) Ford Leahman 80 hp diesel engine with rebuilt Paragon transmission, easy access for maintenance, teak decks over marine ply, and new deck seams in excellent condition. Lovely passage maker, live aboard with spacious interior layout.
