We are again delighted at Boatshed Cornwall to list this Giles Vaton designed Kelt 850 sailing yacht. A fin keel, sugar scoop transom and rudder and skeg ,of which there were about 1,200 of these GRP hulled yachts built.
The Kelt 8.50 has an open layout for her saloon and forward double berths which gives her a bright and roomy feel. Her rear double cabin benefits from a large porthole style window . The heads are large with a vanity unit and storage.
This Kelt was found on her swinging mooring, having used the water taxi, where initial impressions were of a fine clean yacht glistening in the warm summer sun. Once onboard, it soon appeared that whilst much has been recently done to upgrade this yacht there were things left to do.
Some of the upgrades to the functionality of this Kelt 850 seemed to include
Renewed roller reefing system – 2022
Renewed forestay – 2022
Renewed heads – 2022
Renewed through-hull fittings – 2022
Renewed sea cocks – 2022
Renewed Guard Rails (plastic coated stainless steel wire) – 2023
New wind instrument – included but not yet fitted.
Some Renewed running rigging
Life Raft – serviced 2021
Renewed saloon cushions – 2022
Recovered mattresses (internal upholstery) – 2023
Renewed internal decor – 2023
Renewed stack pack – 2022
Renewed Log – 2022
Hull antifouled - 2022
Overall, It appears that whilst much has been done, there are some finishing touches to do internally to this Kelt 850. Nevertheless, it seems up and ready to sail and from the swinging mooring you should be able to enjoy the Cornish coast, estuaries and rivers.
This Kelt 850 is located in an idyllic part of Cornwall and if you are keen there is also the opportunity to negotiate the mooring too. If this is of interest do not hesitate to add this one to your wish list.
