Picton Spirit 3000

I was back at Anglia Yacht Brokers this morning looking at one of these rare Sports Cruisers, with only around 30 built!  This Roger Clarke Marine version was the better one, and in their time probably equal in build quality as Fairline or Princess. Financial difficulties at RC marine led to Picton taking over the moulds. No major faults, but like any other sports cruiser open to abuse, driven too hard in wrong conditions, etc.etc. so look for cracks, crazing in hull etc. Probably as seaworthy as any of that time, although not as sea kindly as current " Olesinski" technology.

  
Surveyors comments: Never seen one with osmosis! Partitions and floors all nicely glassed & bonded in like an old Princess or Fairline. Provide a lot of interior space, in slightly unusual layout. Rear cabin occupants could suffer from claustrophobia! Above average fuel capacity (170 gals) for size of boat!
