Video Island Trader 51 Spain

Williams & Smithells Ltd – Island Trader 51 built 1977. Traditional style robust comfortable cruiser from renowned designer William Garden with the same hull as the Hudson and Force which is also akin to the Formosa 51 but with a higher freeboard' equipped with Ford Lehman 6 cylinder 120hp diesel engine with ample spares, Lewmar 185TT 6kW bow thruster, Ketch rigged with wooden spars and stainless steel standing rigging, Accommodation for 8 in 2 double cabins 2 single cabins and double saloon berth. £95,000

 

Williams & Smithells leapt at the opportunity to take on a real long distance comfortable cruiser with a great level of equipment available to ensure any new owner a hassle free, enjoyable blue water expedition.
Once at the helm the sensation of being in command of a traditional ship is immediately apparent with her bowsprit stretching someway beyond the bow yet her Lewmar 185TT 6kW bow thruster allows the helmsman to easily manoeuver the yacht into a tight mooring when required.
A cavernous 7’7” average headroom and lashings of teak immediately greets those heading down the companion way, a fantastic layout will comfortably house 6 crew with a further 2 in the saloon if required.

Buying or Selling a Yacht ? Trust the Professionals

Buying a Yacht in Greece, What is a Bargain ?

In these trying economic times it is as well to remember that perhaps long-regarded truisms are as valid today as when first penned…” John Ruskin Quote on looking for value.

"It's unwise to pay too much but it's unwise to pay too little.
When you pay too much you lose a little money, that is all.
When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything,
because the thing you bought was incapable
of doing the thing you bought it to do.
The common law of business balance prohibits
paying a little and getting a lot.
It can't be done.
If you deal with the lowest bidder,
it's well to add something for the risk you run.
And if you do that,
you will have enough to pay for something better!"

– John Ruskin (1819-1900)

Client Testimonial

Sold - Hallberg Rassy

Client Testimonial - A big thanks to Mark and Stephen for handling the sale of my yacht so efficiently and professionally. I appreciated their advice in pricing very much which was on the point due to their excellent market analysis. Also their handling of the currency issues between Pound and Euro as well as the punctuality of the transfers (always important for a German) was superb. I recommend them for everybody who sells or buys a yacht in Greece. Peter Wackerbauer - Sold Hallberg Rassy Williams & Smithells
