Description

GILL and Sons ROCHESTER UK Classic Yacht

Wooden Ketch fully renovated

The classic Ketch "SWASTIKA" (its original name) was built in 1908 in England, Rochester in Kent, based on plans by Frederick Shepherd. Since January 1, 2012, "Swastika" has been classified as a "Heritage Interest Vessel" and by order of the Ministry of Culture, dated February 27, 2014, "Swastika" has been listed as a Historic Monument.
The name "Swastika" comes from Sanskrit where it means happiness and prosperity. An ancient symbol of humanity, it represents humans at the center of the universe and is found in various cultures, including Hinduism and Buddhism. Its original meaning is positive and benevolent.

This fully renovated classic yacht will allow you to sail in the spirit of a early 20th-century classic and experience unique sensations that only such rigging can provide.
