As the owner says, she is a bit of a gem. One of only two Seastream 465s built, CANTARA OF RHU is a fine example of the best of British yacht building. From the quality of the moulding to the cabinetry below deck, this yacht was beautifully executed and built to last.
CANTARA has led a blessed existence — while she has enjoyed northern cruising grounds during the summers (as mentioned below), she has spent each winter mast-out, tucked up under cover in Silvers Marine boatyard in Rosneath. There is a comprehensive summary from the owner towards the end of these particulars detailing her regular maintenance.
CANTARA is an ideal family cruising yacht — a proper offshore 4×4. While very much at home on the west coast of Scotland, she would also make an ideal bluewater cruiser for longer-distance adventures.
A charming yacht and first to view will be smitten!
CANTARA has been described as a gentleman’s cruising yacht. She is robust and was built to exacting specifications for bluewater cruising.
The spacious, bespoke interior accommodates six in comfort. Her beautiful fit-out in American red cherry showcases a very high standard of individual craftsmanship.
I have taken particular care with her maintenance, and wintering indoors has helped preserve her original condition.
Over the years, we have cruised Scotland’s west coast and the Hebrides, including St Kilda and the Flannans. We have explored Scandinavian waters from mid-western Norway to the Baltic. The Faroes, Shetlands, and Orkneys have all been visited, as well as a circumnavigation of Ireland.
CANTARA has been very much at home in these sometimes challenging northern waters. She is a very capable and comfortable sea-boat, and I firmly believe she has yet to fulfil her full bluewater cruising potential.
She is a gem. I will miss her.
