Naiad photographed in 2013 by Gordon Garman
Naiad Sale Pending, July 2019
For over 40 years Naiad has been associated with Neal Hill, often being seen out and about on the waters around Oban on the West coast of Scotland. Neal was fully involved with the RYA the OGA and the HBA until his untimely death in March 2019. He kept Naiad in beautiful condition. He would be pleased to know that his boat is about to get a new custodian after only a few week on The Classic Yacht Brokerage website
