Expert insights suggest these yachts, despite initial presumptions of extensive restoration needs and aged systems, can provide an exciting challenge to the passionate and visionary buyer. These projects, typically being more time consuming and possibly financially straining, can reward the owner with a bespoke, iconic masterpiece that stands out amongst the modern fleets.
