Description

RUDA was built from the best of materials and has perhaps the most characterful and deceptively spacious interior of any boat of this size we’ve seen. She's the fine result of an attempt, stymied by the Second World War, to re-boot the fortunes of one of England’s best yacht building traditions (the yard that built TALLY HO) with a high-quality entry into a motor cruiser market burgeoning through the 1930s, somehow unaffected by the Great Depression. In present ownership for over 30 years, RUDA has been very well cared for and proven, offering a comfortable, practical and elegant home for a 22,000 km Grand Tour of Northern European seas, rivers and canals, exploring as far east as Helsinki. Remarkably, this was powered by her original Ailsa Craig engines, now housed in a museum and relatively recently replaced by modern, economic Beta diesels.
