BROKERS COMMENTS 

This Huntsmen SHIKARI - one of the early ones; her hull believed to be No 11, has been restored both externally and within to an extremely high standard - while with modernisation nonetheless retaining the character that made these boats so sought - after from the beginning. Immaculate is a word oft over-used but it’s really applicable in this case. Recently finished in freshly repainted Awlgrip Flag blue plus two coats of anti fouling with topsides in Revival cream and all varnishing retouched she is impressive and ready to go. 

CONSTRUCTION 

Hot moulded construction layered in Agba wood creating a deep vee hull with planing underwater profile. Teak deck planking over marine ply subdeck. Teak planking over coach. 

ACCOMMODATION AND DOMESTIC EQUIPMENT 

Over the transom the spacious aft cockpit has two lift top side bench seating areas to lockers below and one stern seat bench all with blue/white seat covers. For’ard over the engine hatches new helmsman and co pilot bucket seats are on adjustable fore and aft sliders in blue and white waterproof leather. The deck head light is augmented by 4 x reading lights

Access below is by new teak double opening doors with lift up locking hatch and cover over companionway. The cabin interior upholstery is leather finished in blue and white, in keeping with the varnished hardwood sole and furniture and contrasting white décor. The galley to port, rebuilt with added teak cupboard doors and stainless steel splash plate has a new Plastimo Neptune 3000 3 burner hob, oven, sink with hot and cold mixer tap and Isotherm top opening fridge.

A semi bulkhead separates the main accommodation with generous single settee berths either side of the teak drop leaf table amidships. For’ard is hanging locker space either side of the access to foc’sle and chain locker.
