HISTORY & DESCRIPTION:

Lazy Lady of Leith was built by the well known and respected boat builders John Tyrell & Sons of Arklow, County Wickford, Ireland in 1952 to a tradtional canoe sterned North Sea fishing boat design.  After a short period in service she was de-commissioned and professionally converted to a long-range trawler yacht. The original Kelvin engine was up-graded to a slightly larger Gardner 6LW with a National Hyraulic gearbox and hydraulic steering to include a Cetrek Autopilot. The hull and deck are of larch on oak frames and beams, the superstructure is steel framed for strength and the deck and coachroof areas are heavily over-laid with GRP resin for ease of maintainance and leak free decks.

The present owner and his wife have cruised extensively in Lazy Lady which now lies on a very pleasant and economical (£26 per week) alongside mooring in the South of France within a four hour run to the sea and enjoying the micro-climate of the Languedoc ideal as a warm Winter retreat.  Mooring fees include electricity, water, wireless internet and parking.

Every convenience exists on board for comfortable year-round living with oil-fired central heating.  The engine room is completely separate from the accommodation and the slow revving, quiet engine with autopilot makes for peaceful stress free and relaxing cruising.
