Overview
About this vessel
As a broker, I look through heaps of boats every month. Bentley is one of the few that reaches out and grabs you! Her size and classic style are obvious when walking down the dock, but will knock you over when you arrive inside.
The largest of Frank Pelin's wooden designs, built in double diagonal ply strip, glassed over, she has been well maintained and improved by her (only) three owners since new. The waves and water haven't changed since he designed her, and this is a seriously comfortable, well looked after, big sea-boat presented in immaculate condition.
The pictures don't do justice to her space when you look inside. Everything is massive. With a two cabin, twin head arrangement, plus two double berth settee conversions in the saloon, she's great for fun with extended family or mates. And her current owner says her best positive is the huge flybridge with a custom hard-top!
Planes at 14kts with exceptional fuel economy and is easily handled by skipper and one crew. She has modern styled house and en-suite bathrooms, over-sized trim tabs, 2.0m+ saloon headroom, large house battery bank with 110W solar trickle charging, and generous tankage. Top quality upholstery and flybridge seating cushions complete the interior, and covers and canvas are in excellent condition.
Bentley is for sale, including her transferable Gulf Harbour rented marina berth, with easy access and maneuvering space, in Fairway Bay.
