The name comes from the small town in Suffolk, england which was the birthplace of captain Francis Light
Light was a British explorer and founder of the British colony of Penang in modern-day Malaysia. In his time working for the famous East-India Company, Light would have captained a Yacht much like Dallinghoo 250 odd years ago. The love and attention to detail that her owner has gone into to restore Dallinghoo to her former glory is exemplary. She combines the classic look and feel with modern luxury features that would be expected of a yacht today. Burmese teak abounds everywhere and the tanbark traditional weave clipper sailcloth that would have been seen in the 18th Century stands out beautifully.
She is able to accommodate up to 8 guests for overnights in 4 spacious cabins, all en-suite. Originally designed to be a charter yacht for trips to the islands of Burma she is fully equipped with dive compressor and 6 sets of SCUBA gear for the sub-aqua enthusiasts, paddle boards, sea-kayaks, Game Fishing rods, a 4.2 metre Rib with 40hp tender and a McNulty 12ft clinker classic gaff rigged sailing dinghy. She currently holds a commercial charter licence to operate in Thai waters. The cabins were refitted in 2016 and the engine was fully rebuilt in 2019 to zero hours.
If you want a Yacht you can easily live aboard and sail around the world on or you would like to buy a classic yacht for sail-charters then look no further. Quite simply the finest example of a modern classic available on the market that will bring so much joy to her new owners."
