History

Built 1924 by Philip & Son of Dartmouth, Tern IV, is a cruising yacht with a gaff rig. She is based in Guernsey and operates charter cruises to neighbouring islands and the coast of Brittany. Her saloon is almost completely original with mahogany panelling and silver plated fittings.

Bought in 2000 by her current owners, and renamed LUCKY LADY, she has been fully rebuilt with top quality materials and exceptional care, in a series of refitting campaigns. She is now in top condition, ready to set sails, waiting for a new owner.  Vessel is up for sale via De Valk Yacht broker, Palma de Mallorca, Spain.

Update, January 2024: Vessel for sale with Sandemans Yacht Co, and now based in Thailand.
