Agents Note:

'Jomalou' is the last of the traditional wooden Rampart 32 motor-yachts built long after the advent of mass production GRP boats. This well know Southampton boatyard has produced many splendid vessels, with the popular Rampart 32 design dating back to 1952.

Professionally maintained by knowledgeable owner this must be one of the best available Rampart 32's having completed in recent years extensive trips through the French Canals and along the South Coast.  Owner retiring from boating hence competitive guide price.
