Gauntlet Class yachts 32 ft berthon

Typically of all the characterful, thoroughly English in style, canoe-sterned Gauntlet Class yachts built by Berthon of Lymington from the mid-1930s, MITTEN has had many suitors; it’s hard not to fall in love with their undoubted aesthetic and practical charms - and abilities. MITTEN’s early list of owners reads like a who’s who of British industry; then, over the past half century and more blessed with custodians prepared to invest in her future without compromising authenticity; doing the right thing by her structure and, equally importantly, using her. In present ownership, after a major refit by her original builder, for the past decade MITTEN has been wafted and seasoned by the salty Western Mediterranean air: cruising the Tyrrhenian Sea and appearing at the occasional classic regatta - like an English country cottage time machine teleported to Tuscany. Sounds wonderful – don’t you think?
