1961 Silver James A Silver

Built in 1961 by J. A Silver Ltd, Rosneath, Scotland and impeccably restored by Gardner Marine in 2023, Silver Lass is a classic Gentleman’s Motor Yacht of the highest quality.

Part of the Ormidale class of vessels designed by John Bain, SILVER LASS is one of the few that was originally built for Mediterranean use. Under the same owner from 1969 – 2008, she extensively cruised throughout the Mediterranean, West and East and then into the Black Sea and up the River Danube.

The vessel was restored in house by Gardner Marine over a period of 4 years to bring this vessel back to perfect condition. In the heart of the vessel are two fully restored and completely original Gardner 6LW engines, close coupled to new ZF hydraulic gearboxes. A host of modern upgrades have been installed in the background of the vessel including full air conditioning and heating systems, large battery capacity for long periods of silent use, hydraulic stabilisation, and all new navigational and steering systems.

True to the period with solid teak interior, SILVER LASS has been cleverly rebuilt with modern technology sympathetically installed to provide the utmost comfort and luxury. She returned back to the Mediterranean in 2023 where she had spent so much time all those years ago, now in search for her new owners.
