SILVERS JOHN BAIN 50 FT 'SILVER LEAF TYPE' MOTOR YACHT 1937

In her almost 90 years, the John Bain/ James A. Silver 50 ft ‘Silver Leaf Type’ classic twin-screw motor yacht HYSKEIR has been blessed with just a handful of careful and knowledgeable owner-drivers. We presume she came off relatively lightly during wartime service, and some deep refits in her early 60s helped to steer this incredibly stylish, practical and useable yacht towards her centenary, while never interfering with time capsule 1930s authenticity. HYSKEIR’s varnish and paint may not be concours right now, but the patina evidence of her adventures, an honesty and a simple beauty, shine through, and her relatively young deck leaves her ready to be used while perhaps planning a deeper makeover.
