The Banjer 37, with its iconic and instantly recognisable silhouette, has a dedicated following. Built in the early days of GRP production boatbuilding, the hull and decks are heavily over-engineered. The interiors, constructed in the same robust manner using the finest hardwoods and finished in a classic style, provide a comfortable and welcoming below-decks living space.PELICAN was previously owned by a master mariner who spent a lifetime at sea in the Merchant Navy and completed extensive re-fitting works throughout his ownership. Purchased by her current owner in 2020 she has benefited from some futher upgrading in recent years, including a re-working of the wheelhouse layout and some very robust, custom fabricated davits.
