HISTORY & DESCRIPTION:
A traditional Baltic motor-fishing vessel design, built in 1925 by the well known and respected Soren Larsen. Converted in the late 1980s to a private yacht then worked as a charter vessel in both the Solent and more recently in the Bristol Channel from a Bristol Floating Harbour mooring.
Currently owned by a Cornish based charity, Sea Sanctuary Grace of Falmouth has proven to be a very suitable vessel for sail training in the Falmouth area. The aims of the charity are now diversifying slightly hence offering Grace for sale. During the charities ownership an extensive two year refit was completed, work which included hull re-caulking, plank replacement, re-fastening, updated electronics and systems, some new tankage and a new mainsail.
Soren Larsen was the last vessel built by the yard in 1949, named in memory of Soren and still an active participant on the Tall Ships circuit.
