A Luxury yacht has undergone a £1 million refurbishment in Gloucester Docks.The Halcyon, a classic 1930s gentleman's yacht, was spotted in the Docks last week.
The vessel was shipped to Gloucester for special treatment at Tommi Nielsen's dry dock.
Its owner, Andrew Armour, decided to bring it to Gloucester because of the shipyard's reputation.
The yacht, which has sailed all over the world, is now in first class shape - which county residents can discover.
The Classic Sailing Company, based in Cornwall, is hoping people who spotted the Halcyon in the Docks will fancy a trip of their own.
Adam Purser, one of its skippers, said: "She is a very special yacht and it is not often that people are able to come aboard and cruise with us.
"She can sleep up to eight guests and we visit places like Cornwall, Scotland and Ireland.
"It truly is a wonderful experience and I hope the people in Gloucester will want to take a closer look after seeing her in the Docks."
