Description
TOKI was the first SEASPRAY 26 to be built by Priors of Burnham on Crouch being launched in April 1953. After several owners she was left ashore for several years until being purchased in 1994, and was “restored to a sound and seaworthy condition following a major refit” (Christopher R H Temple. Naval Architect & Surveyor: 1st June 1995) re-launched in May 1995. With her then owner from the Isle of White she cruised the Solent area, Pool & Chichester, including a few channel crossings.
In 2000 she won the Renaissance Trophy for Classic yachts in the Round the Island race.
Sold on in July 2009 she was again left ashore for several years until being purchased by me in 2012
I put her in dry dock at Port de Légué in Saint Brieuc and left her to dry out.
Following a thorough re-caulking I re-launched her in July 2015 where she occupies a finger pontoon emplacement in the Port de Légué.
A great example of the classic Buchanan Sea Spray, a traditionally built boat originating from Priors of Burnham. Toki is of timber construction, and is graced by a long traditional keel and smooth transitioning lines. Sleeps 4 in 2 cabins and ready for viewing in Port de Légué, Brittany.
