Broker Remarks

This Biscay 36 Ketch for sale with Network Yacht Brokers Plymouth is an excellent yacht she has had a major refit over the past two and a half years with almost £30,000 spent on her, she is a must see for any Bisay enthusiasts!
The Biscay 36 was designed by Alan Hill and built by Falmouth Boat Construction in 1982, to a very high standard.
During the last two and a half years the current owners have carried out a total refit (details of this refit are available upon request) to include a new Beta Marine 43hp diesel engine, gearbox and propshaft.
Under the previous owners (well known broadcasters Paul Heiney and Libby Purves) Ayesha took part in the 2003 AZAB race. Following this Paul Heiney took part in the twelth OSTAR race in 2005 (single handed transatlantic race) and his book "The Last Man Across The Atlantic" tells the story.
Apart from the above, this Biscay 36 Ketch has undertaken many brave voyages, including a trip to Antartica via panama.
She achieved a "record" as the GRP  yacht that has travelled the furthest South in the world, which only cements herself as a very safe and seaworthy yacht, that is a traditional sea boat!
If you are searching for a special Ketch rigged ocean yact then this Biscay 36 Ketch is certainly worth considering!
