Summary:
Used 1934 Formula Yacht Silver
Location:
Coatham Mundeville
Description:
MERO may well be the best restored, refitted, and outfitted example of John Bain’s highly attractive 36 ft ‘stretched’ Silverette Type of 1930s twin screw motor yacht - something akin to a shooting brake of the sea. More than 25 years of care in current ownership have included a major restoration followed by structural and detailing refits, and systems upgrades. MERO benefits from Silvers original semi-open wheelhouse arrangement, offering a fine weather ‘birdpit’ with the covers off, while her easily maintained, low-hours modern Beta diesel engines ensure smooth running and efficient manoeuvers. The whole is the perfect platform for cruising and exploring in classic style, but modern comfort. MERO has been an ongoing project for us for the past 27 years: from a badly water-damaged hull to the classic she is now. It has taken us far longer than we anticipated, but we think the result worthwhile. On purchase it was clear that MERO had suffered substantial fresh water damage. - Initial restoration by Greenway Marine, Chedgrave, Norfolk - Further works by Harbour Marine Services, Southwold, Suffolk - Pitch pine planking and oak timbers replaced mainly on the port side. - Beam shelves, stem, deck, deckbeams and wheelhouse replaced - Aft cabin sides, stern post and transom replaced - New electrics, electronics, engines and tanks - About 2300 lbs/ 1043 kg of ballast added JAMES A. SILVER LTD. " SILVERETTE" No. 18 UK NATIONAL HISTORIC SHIPS REGISTER No. 3014 By the mid-1930’s, under the leadership of John Bain - a talented naval architect who remarkably married his craft with marketing and management flair - the Firth of Clyde yard James A. Silver Ltd had become the pre-eminent UK designer and builder of high quality, series produced motor yachts. Bain's 30 ft 'Silverette Type' design had hit the ground running in 1931, attracting a new demographic to pleasure boat ownership and use, helping to further establish the desirability of the Silver.
