ARGO OF ARDROSSAN is a charming little ship. She is easy to sail and of course the original build is of the first quality. She has a great wheelhouse and her saloon is atmospheric and charming and is situated aft with the sleeping accommodation forward. She has been substantially refitted and updated in this ownership including a very thorough winter refit in 2013/14 which included full new paint. ARGO is now ready for her new owner and new blue water adventures…

RCD Status: Our understanding is that the yacht is exempt from the essential safety requirements of Directive 94/25EC (Recreational Craft Directive) as she was built and placed into use within the EU prior to 1998.
