Broker's Comments

Only a handful of the original 75 Polish built wooden cruisers still exist. Built by Communist shipbuilders in Poland, there were designed to show the West that they could build quality yachts and were RORC III class yachts with a Bermudan cutter rig. In their day they were very up-market with all the latest fixtures and fittings. Scandinavian builders at the time marvelled at the high quality of wood-crafting of these yachts.

This particular example is part way through a complete restoration with much of the work done already to a high quality. A great opportunity exists for a skilled person to finish the work and own a beautiful wooden yacht and a piece of Cold War yachting history.
