This is Eskdale – the first example of a strip-built Bristol 27 motor cruiser built by Win Cnoops and colleagues at Star Yachts, and designed by Andrew Wolstenholme.
It has obviously been drawn and built with the intention of evoking a bygone age, but I think it’s a stylishly retro craft in any language.
As built she has port and starboard bunks, one of which converts to a double, lockers, a galley and separate heads, a small locker, aft of these is a small galley on one side, and a hanging locker on the other. Win is offering a variety of options for future boats, including a choice of 50hp engine offering a maximum of 12 knots and a 38hp offering 10 knots.
hope it all went well Win, looks good,
cheers, Marcus
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!
Thanks Marcus, and Hans-christian. Marcus I had to get rid of our 24' Percy Mitchell motor cruiser, no time, no money, you know the kind of thing. But she's gone to a good home (I think). Good luck with yours.
