Classic Yacht Brokerage Comments on this Laurent Giles Vertue V2
Laurent Giles Vertue No.2 built by E.F. Elkins of Christchurch in 1937. This was the second Vertue ever launched after Andrillot, built by the well known Elkins yard who became prolific builders of Vertue yachts. These early examples of the Vertue differ to the later boats that were more common and only 8 examples were launched.
Design Features
They have a slightly lower freeboard, more exaggerated sheer line and a lower coachroof with no doghouse. They are widely regarded as prettier boats than the later sisters, but have less volume inside and only sitting headroom.
Performance
The sea keeping qualities of these yachts is legendary, perhaps the most accomplished small cruising design ever built. The Vertue is a superb boat at sea and in heavy weather where they will out perform many bigger boats and give their crew an incredible sense of security and safety.
Construction
Sally II is built from excellent materials:
Pitch pine planking
Lead keel
Bronze keel bolts
Bronze strap floors
All of which will ensure her longevity. Recent mast from Noble Spars and a good suit of sails.
Ownership History
The current professional owner has had the boat for 30 years, cruising first from the Solent around Brittany, the West country and the Channel then on the west coast of Scotland for the last 20 years. A 2019 survey gave her a clean bill of health from a structural point of view.
Documentation
A very special boat with lots of detailed history, original blue book, builders invoices and associated documentation. She has been on the Lloyds register since new.
Specifications
Length on Deck: 25’2”
Length Overall: 27’
Length Waterline: 21‘6“
Beam: 7’4”
Draft: 4’6”
Thames Tonnage: 5TM
