NEW LISTING - 1936 Syersen 34' Sloop - KERLO - Mark Cameron Yachts

Saturday 20th July 2024

Mark Cameron Yachts are delighted to have been appointed to act in the sale of the 1936 Syersen 34′ Sloop ‘KERLO’.

It’s believed KERLO is the result of a design competition run by the Royal Swedish Yacht club in the late 1930’s. The competition was designed to stimulate innovation in the design and building of cruising yachts from the countries then younger naval architects. The winning design she was built and then given away as the prize in the club’s 1939 annual raffle. The lucky winner was a Scottish sailor based in Edinburgh and the boat arrived in the UK shortly before the start of WWII.

A now familiar sight in Scottish waters KERLO has been enjoyed by owners based around Scotland with her being based on the East Coast originally before migrating to the waters of the west coast where she has been for the last 30+ years. Purchased by her current owners in 2022 KERLO has benefitted from a rigorous maintenance regime in the last couple of years with some sensitive modernising and upgrading of her equipment.
