Broker's Comments
1960 Alan Buchanan Vashti Queen Class
Built by Universal Boatyard
A beautifully presented example of the highly regarded Vashti Queen Class, designed by renowned British naval architect Alan Buchanan and built by Universal Boatyard in 1960.
This classic yacht has undergone major works and refurbishment, bringing her back to an impressive standard while retaining the character, proportions and traditional appeal of Buchanan’s original design. Among the significant works completed is new gelcoat hull, Copper coating and repainting of topsides and deck giving the boat a fresh, clean appearance and providing an excellent foundation for continued ownership.
The Vashti Queen is a particularly attractive traditional cruising yacht, combining elegant lines with a practical and capable cruising layout. Her classic profile, generous sheer and balanced proportions make her a striking presence afloat, while her Buchanan pedigree offers genuine interest to those looking for a well-built British classic.
The substantial work already undertaken means she offers an excellent opportunity for a new owner seeking a classic yacht with much of the major refurbishment already addressed.
