Presenting a very rare opportunity to acquire a fully re-fitted, Lloyds-built, gentleman’s heritage motor-yacht, USUTU is presented in A1 condition – both in terms of engineering and cosmetically. One of only a handful of Lancer’s moulded by Tylers, her charm is undiminished by years, and she is stabilized; with modern navigational inventory to bring her bang up to date.  USUTU’s 2 ½ year total major professional refit includes a total Awlgrip re-spray and total engine room replacement.

USUTU has had a truly vast amount of money spent on her. Why? Firstly because she was built to Lloyds 100A1, plus LMC, her hull is between 23-25mm thick and topsides 21mm thick. She has a virtually dry bottom for her age and was in 2012 free of blistering (survey commented ‘in remarkable condition’). Moulded by Tylers, fitted out by Moody when they were just changing over from timber yachts to GRP, in consequence the standard of joinery and timber use is exception; she is stabilized and most importantly she is very, very attractive – a truly modern, heavy displacement, long range, low maintenance, classic motor yacht and a seaworthy, confidence inspiring vessel. Regrettably USUTU is being sold due to illness.

The yacht is being sold as a turnkey operation, to include new bedding (2/3 sets), cutlery, crockery, cooking utensils, tools, spares, electronic charts, paper charts, books, vast amount of warps, fenders etc. All that is needed to go is fresh food!

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.
