HISTORY & DESCRIPTION:

LADY COPPELIA was built for S A Singleton of Maenporth, Near Falmouth in 1964 and subsequently registered in Falmouth, official number 305217. In the late 1960s, Godfrey Hope of Deganwy began the second registered owner mooring LADY COPPELIA in Conway, North Wales. The previous owner bought the boat in 2000 and based her in Marmaris to extensively cruise The Med and the Red Sea. Following a four-month refit and survey dated January 2016 she was purchased by the current owner and moved to her current mooring in South France.
