"Chetwynds of Upton" has been lovingly maintained but awaits some superficial TLC due to not being used for extensive cruising during the past 6 years, and now stored ashore in Villa Real De Santo Antonio, Portugal.
This is reflected in the attractive price.

This presents a fantastic opportunity for a discerning sailor to acquire a well-equipped and classic sloop with a high-quality interior at a great value. With some cosmetic attention, "Chetwynds of Upton" will be ready to create lasting memories for its new owner.

"Chetwynds of Upton" is a well-equipped and lovingly maintained classic cutter rig sloop, specially built for our maiden voyage to the West Indies in 89. See our story in Yachting Monthly (April 1990.)

"Chetwynds of Upton" is more than just a boat; it's a meticulously documented vessel with a rich history. Every piece of equipment onboard comes with its original paperwork and instructions, neatly organized in a dedicated library within the boat. This meticulous record-keeping ensures peace of mind and simplifies future maintenance. We haven't even mentioned everything! The comprehensive inventory includes essential safety gear like double horseshoe buoys, a life sling MOB system, and a 6-man Zodiac life raft (though the CRT certification may need renewal). The galley features a reliable Taylor's paraffin stove and heater, perfect for creating delicious meals at sea. There's a ton more to discover onboard "Chetwynds of Upton."

I am in Portugal doing maintenance from 8th-31st October, contact me on Whatsapp to arrange a viewing.
