Broker Comments

A fast design from Ker, built by Richard Faulkner to a very high standard, and subsequently refitted by him. This is a fantastic opportunity to buy a boat with great racing potential, at a relatively low cost. Improvements to her foils has been carried out by Jim Walker to Ker design specifications in 2019. "The original brief was for a true dual purpose yacht, with a modern and comfortable interior that would lend itself to both racing and cruising, whilst having performance and competiveness under IRC to win on the race course. Built by Ritchie Faulkner Composites of Hamble, she was aimed squarely for the middle class for the Commodore's Cup, the 36 went on to win the trials and represent England on the GBR Red Team" - Ker Design. She comes with a lightweight interior including bunk cushions, cabin sole and saloon table and a cruising interior of wooden cabin sole boards, heavier weight cushions and a wooden saloon table making for a comfortable cruising interior.
