Broker Remarks

This Alan Pape 45 Classic Yawl is a big powerful boat; she was designed and built in 1981 in Looe Cornwall The first owner commissioned her for blue water voyages providing safety and comfort.
Her design and construction were focused on creating a true ocean yacht, recent voyages that the current owner have completed have proved her to be just that.
Curtis and Pape built a variety of boats, which started with fishing boats and then veering into the yachting market with many different successful designs of sailing yachts and motorboats.

This Alan Pape 45 had a major refit in 2006/07 for the current owner; it included a new rig configuration which was slightly altered from the original design, this was overseen by Ed Burnett who is a renowned classic yacht designer. Several small changes have helped to improve the performance and handling of the boat.
The job sheet for the refit also included the removal and replacement of cabin soles and floor bolts as well as new keel bolts.
After the refit, the current owner completed a cruise to circumnavigate South America via the Magellan Straits. The trip was a huge success and she clocked some very respectable daily log readings, the owner was very impressed with the safety, comfort and performance during this trip. Since this trip, she has been refitted.

The size a of the boat give her a vast interior volume, and make her a very comfortable yacht for extended cruising. She will be sold with a full inventory for long distance sailing and very impressive history.
