History
LIBERTINE is an example of the Buchanan Prior 37, an adaptation by designer Alan Buchanan of his successful yacht 'Vashti'.
LIBERTINE is one of six built by R J Prior at Burnham on Crouch. Her mast and boom are now aluminium spars, the mast being deck-stepped.
She was purchased by her current owner in August 2018 in Penarth and refitted by Rolt's Boatyard, in Bristol.
