Owner's Comments
KATE is "a symphony in simplicity."

Broker's Comments
KATE is a reproduction of an Alfred Mylne First Rule 12-Meter. While KATE's design and details are traditional, her owner decided to construct her using modern wood technology to take full advantage of its structural advantages and in order to lessen the burden of maintenance.

A contemporary of William Fife III, Alfred Mylne in fact began his career at the Fife yard, and along with Fife and G. L. Watson, Mylne is known for having designed the loveliest and fastest British yachts of their era. The First Rule 12-Meters were particularly graceful and powerful yachts with their long overhangs and gaff rigs.

KATE is now offered to anyone who would like to own a lovely and unique classic yacht with superb design pedigree.

All for US$500,000.00

Advert needs updating as it is now a Yawl.

Nah, much too fancy and big for me

What I really want is a nice little 20 odd foot circa 1970 twin keeler that needs a bit of TLC

(repeat multiple times until convinced)

Just remember the wise words of Saint Dylan de Winter;

"I love to watch expensive classics from the cockpit of the Slug. My view is vastly superior to theirs and at a fraction of the cost"

These boats are lovely to look at, but horrendously expensive to buy, crew & maintain. Like Dylan, I prefer to watch them sail past me to buying one & having to watch me sail past!

Now that is a philosophy I can relate to! Like it

And those people who can afford them have so much money that they spend all their time worrying about it and how to make more.They don't realise,or have forgotten, that the really pleasurable things in life are the small and simple ones.
