Ramparts 32 Overview
Fox’s Yacht Sales are delighted to present this charming Rampart 32, Doncella, a classic wooden motor yacht built in 1960. Doncella has been lovingly cared for by the same family for over 40 years and has passed through three generations of ownership. The current owner brough her to Ipswich in 2021, lived aboard while undertaking an extensive refit including a new deck, hull frames and planking.
She represents a wonderful opportunity to own a genuine classic British wooden motor yacht with beautiful traditional lines, a fascinating history and significant work already undertaken to preserve her. Currently lying afloat, Doncella would make an ideal vessel for relaxed river and coastal cruising.
