This is one Classic Lady, As is sale
Looking for a respectable offer.
1963 Vosper Flybridge Motoryacht 105'
'LADY CLAUDIA' is a Philip Rhodes de-signed long range motor yacht built for the Chairman of BP Petroleum Co., by VOSPER Thornycraft in Portsmouth England as a strong, classic and economical long range motor yacht. She is likely the most seaworthy, stabilized Yacht of her size in the world today.
Features include walk around teak weather decks, four large owners suites and on deck main galley, a huge open aft deck salon and a beautiful private formal dining salon forward on the main deck. By design, the ship has a long center of gravity, a long centerline, a 21' beam, a 6' draft, Caterpillar main engines and a 5000 mile range.
In 2007 the vessel was purchased by an International Aviation Company who dry-docked the yacht for 2 years. During this time the following was done: replacement of 800 sq. ft. of steel in the hull, any steel under 85% of original plating was replaced; all ribs replaced where necessary; keel inside structure replaced; all tank tops replaced; tanks made new, completely coated and all plumbing for fuel replaced; fresh water tanks replaced; new pressure water system and new waste water system installed; both shaft alleys trued; new shaft bearings installed; new 4-blade propellers installed; every piece of electrical wiring from main deck down replaced; all upper decks repaired with apoxyed marine plywood (new metal where necessary), then new artificial teak decks installed. All pumps are new. All air conditioning new in 2009. All new electrical panels and all new underwater exhausts. At the same time all the below deck accommodations were removed and rebuilt completely new.
She has accommodations for eight in the owners party in four staterooms with all new walls (woodwork), floors, lighting, bathrooms and all new headliners. She has a 5000 mile range and is a very seaworthy, stabilized ocean-going yacht. Today, the M/Y Lady Claudia represents a very unique value. To duplicate the yacht in Europe would cost well over $10,000,000.00 and take several years to complete.
All she needs now is, the crews quarters finished and exterior touch up paint job.
This famous classic Phillip Rhodes design would be a real head-turner in any port she might visit worldwide.
