Freeman Attrill 40 ft TSDY 1966 - Sold

DOLPHIN OF RHU has been lovingly and professionally restored & rebuilt on the Clyde over 3 years and re-launched in virtually as new condition in April 2007. Although significantly brought up to date with the comforts, reliability, practicality and safety features expected of a modern vessel, her owner has been careful to retain her classic appeal. More recently she has undergone a professional refitting including full re-paint and re-varnish and is looking 100%. This is a beautiful and practical vessel for a discerning buyer.

Designed by Reg Freeman this 40 foot gentleman\'s motor yacht was originally named DELFINO and launched in 1966 from the yard of H. Attrill and Sons at Bembridge on the Isle of Wight.

The Attrills yard established in 1947 was to build a diverse range of vessels – ranging from dinghies, through motor launches and yachts through sailing yachts, most of them to the to leading designs of their day.
