Luke 5 Ton Bermudan Sloop 1949
PENDRAGON
BROKER’S COMMENTS
The Luke 5 ton auxiliary was designed by W.L. Hobbs to compare favourably with any other vessel of it size and type - with her swept- up cruising bow and pretty raked transom, she is a classic post war cruising yacht in similar mould to the Laurent Giles “Virtue”
“A real husky sailing boat, built for hard use, easily driven, stiff and ready for any weather………” reads the original sales literature promulgated by her builders Port Hamble Ltd. There’s no doubt that PENDRAGON was built to a high standard and still satisfies her original brief, comfortably sleeping 3 in an interior which is as charming as her exterior is powerful and pleasing.
