The iconic aft cockpit motor yacht, this Fairey Huntsman 28 will become part of her next owners family as she has done for her previous owners. Designed originally by Ray Hunt and modified by Alan V. Burnard of Fairey Marine in Hamble, the Fairey Huntsman 28 is renowned for very superior handling characteristics and seakeeping. During the late 1960s and 1970s they were raced highly successfully offshore and gained many trophies.
