History

MISTY LADY is a Bermuda Class which at 34 ft length and 4-berth is a smaller version of the 39ft 6-berth Caribbean, but very similar in other respects. The Bermuda was developed in 1969 following the introduction of the original in 1966. Misty Lady was built for FB Wilds hireboat fleet and then disposed to a private owner at later date. For the last twenty years the boat has been based at Hebden Bridge changing hands three times with a recent purchase by the current owner. The previous owner carried out the internal refurbishment in about 2018. The boat retains its original Perkins 4108 marine engine.

A good example of FB Wilds Caribbean Class cruiser from 1969. Restored inside as overnight accommodation in traditional 1960's decor. 

Update, September 2024: Vessel for sale.
