LAURENT GILES KETCH

"Compass Rose" is a very well built ketch, designed by Laurent Giles and built at a shipyard in Southampton in 1998. A new engine was installed in 2021 when virtually the entire driveline was replaced with new bushings, new propeller and muffler. The engine has only about 50 running hours. The boat was ordered by Max Monsarrat and was completed in 1998. Max Monsarrat is the son of the author Nicholas Monsarrat who wrote the book "The Cruel Sea". She was named after a destroyer in the book. Max had ash trees cut down from his own plot, which he had the interior of the boat made of. Max's wife was ecclesiastically active and the boat is therefore decorated with certain details from the church.
