Description

GRALIAN’s proud bow seems to depict the ‘chin up’ attitude of her era. Cowes aircraft manufacturer Saunders-Roe’s Medina / Saro Class motor yachts are brave little ships - as brave as their original owners, many of them aviators. Eight were built in the late 1930s and five are believed to survive in commission. GRALIAN is arguably the most authentic, retaining most of her teak hull, superstructure, and original Art Deco interior, while enjoying a major 2010-2011 restoration of her vital structural organs at Harbour Marine Services, Southwold, who have so far worked their charms on three of the class survivors. Nominated for Restoration of the Year in 2011 by Classic Boat magazine as, “… the epitome of the gentleman’s motor yacht... immaculately restored…”, GRALIAN has subsequently become perhaps the most travelled classic motor yacht of her type, cruising at sea and inland over 20,000 miles from Greece to the Arctic Circle. She’s very ready for more of the same, or simple, elegant and comfortable family holidays.
