BROKER’S COMMENTS Fred Shepherd designed yachts were renowned not only for their great beauty but for the important practicality of more spacious accommodation than could be had in most boats of the 1930s – and perfectly demonstrated in this case. Living aboard could be very comfortable but without compromising her fine sea keeping and sailing qualities. In his book ‘Oyster River’ George Millar gives a wonderful account of his short-tacking AMOKURA with ease up the narrow tidal channels and rivers of Morbihan in the 1960s. Indeed her handling qualities, whether in light airs or strong winds navigating such waters were remarkable. Thus inspired Millar also noted: “…There was a time in England when most things used by gentlemen were about as perfect as men could make them………” Given her qualities and heritage she has moreover been maintained in beautiful condition with appropriate refits and updates ranging from bronze floors and refastening, all of which are well documented, to significant enhancement of the interior furnishings.
