Broker's Comments
This Chinese Junk built in Hong Kong appears to be in very good condition. Her hull and woodwork are original teak and the quality of the timber is easily seen. Her bilges are completely dry with no sign of humidity.
She has recently (June 2023) been out of the water for maintenance. There was no sign of any wood rot on the underside. She has been primed and painted throughout and now looking great.
She was first bought in 1967 by the actor Rick von Nutter who at the time was married to the famous Swedish actress Anita Eckberg. In fact he had her built especially for her. So the lucky new owner will also be buying a little bit of history. The current owner has all the original documents showing her history.
For the last 30 years she has been used purely as a live-aboard. Her engine was removed a long time ago but a new one could easily be fitted. The main central mast was also removed but the owner has kept the original sails. It would not take long to get her sailing again.
So her new owner could use her as a live-aboard for which she is comfortable, bright and roomy. However it would be a shame not to enjoy her out at sea again.
I would strongly advise a viewing.
