Brooke and Co Twin Screw Motor Yacht

Brokers Comments

GUILLEMOT is a labour of love – her last two titleholders have carefully brought her rear to life;  substantially restoring her to a high level of thorough and painstaking workmanship, combined with great attention to special and use of the best possible materials.  The end result is a stunning ship above and below the waterline, internal and out. Modern comforts and machinery have been incorporated into the traditional capacity without spoiling her unique ambience. Most recently she has had original additions including her deck replaced, original caulking done in the traditional way, bright work re-varnished, engines fully serviced, original life raft, supseaport and bathing floor.

Historical Note

This ship was renamed KATHLEEN for a period following one phase of restoration by a former titleholder.  Her current titleholder recently renamed her as she was originally; GUILLEMOT.
