BROKERS COMMENTS:
Marigan, a Classic Gaff Rig Cutter for sale in Mallorca, was originally named "Molita" (little Molly) after the daughter of her first owner and designer, Charles Livingstone in Liverpool. She was built by Samuel Bond at the Birkenhead Shipyard in 1898, the same builder of "Española", which was later sailed by King Alfonso XII of Spain.  
 
Her reconstruction quality was exceptional, enabling her to race hard and secure numerous trophies in the classic regattas.  
 
Her current owner renamed her Marigan, formed from the initials of his daughters.
