Summary:
Used 1962 Formula Yacht
Location:
Coatham Mundeville
Description:
Many years preserved by the Western Mediterranean’s salty seas and balmy airs; few and careful owners; in current ownership, a major life-extending refit and possibly more use over the past 20 years than in her previous 40… This magnificent example of British wooden motor yacht designing and building has had the best of lives, and it really shows. The Rampart 48 STAR OF KILLARNEY has been a well-known, loved - and busy - classic high-end day charter vessel both on the River Thames and on the south coast of England: from Henley to Cowes. For her next owner, for either personal or commercial use, this brings a vessel set up for short-handed operation that has had to pass regular inspections, be mechanically and electrically dependable, and with a level of fit out and comfort in keeping with her provenance and classic good looks. We purchased STAR OF KILLARNEY in 2001 because we were looking for a spectator vessel for use at events such as Henley Royal Regatta and Cowes Week which was also suitable for entertaining in and around the Solent area. Her length was important because of the restricted availability of berthing for boats longer than around 50 feet. Her extensive deck area and 360° vista from the wheelhouse were also significant attractions. TIM GILMORE LTD, DOLPHIN QUAY BOATYARD, EMSWORTH 2017 - Deck re-payed 2012 - All ballast keel keel bolts replaced MAJOR REFITSTAR OF KILLARNEY surveyed well on purchase by the present owners in 2001, leaving them free to concentrate on maximising facilities for commercial daytime entertaining charter. Emphasis was placed on (1) mechanical reliability – switch on and go, (2) simple single-handed operation and (3) enhancing aesthetics, for example by replacing brass with stainless steel or chromium plated fittings. Headroom in the wheelhouse was increased so that even relatively tall passengers could stand without being required to stoop. - Virtually every mechanical and electrical part replaced.
