Last surveyed October 2013 (available on request), the surveyor commented, ”GEM is a classic and well maintained motor yacht - - true to her original fittings. Robust, significant restorative and preservation activities has materially extended her service life and enhanced desirability. Quality joiner work is a rarity and consistent with historical themes. GEM is in vastly better condition than the vast majority of her sister ships.”
GEM was taken off the market a few months ago to address a persistent leak issue. This leak has now been corrected and the boat is again perfectly sound and back on the market.
