Comentario del broker
SELINA KING is a Bermudan Cutter built by Harry King & Sons of Pin Mill in 1938 for the author Arthur Ransome. At 36ft, she was the largest boat commissioned by Ransome and reputed to be his favourite.
As you can appreciate, there is a lot of history that comes with this fine boat. In her lifetime, she has had various owners and adventures in the Caribbean and the Southern US. Found abandoned and in a poor state in Florida, she was sailed to Bermuda and eventually bought by the current owner in 2011. She eventually returned, and there started an extensive refit, culminating in her launch in 2023 at the very yard where she had been built, Harry King & Sons Boatyard in Pin Mill, Suffolk.
Selina King has been restored sympathetically using as much of the original boat as possible as is evidenced in the accompanying photographs. Now, after spending a lot of years, effort and money rebuilding the boat, the owner wishes to pass her on to someone who can appreciate the good work and use her properly.
