Compared to the multi-million pound super-yachts favoured by
the likes of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and F1 presenter Eddie
Jordan, this humble fishing vessel may not look like much.
However for former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, it hold precious memories of happy days with his first wife Linda before she tragically died on cancer.
Now he has made the heartbreaking decision to sell the vessel after a meeting with his children Stella, Heather and Mary.
Sir Paul McCartney is selling his 52ft converted fishing boat Barnaby Rudge anonymously for £60,000
The modest vessel is where McCartney spent time with first wife Linda before she died of cancer
According to a family friend the singer decided to part with the boat because it holds painful memories
The boat, named Barnaby Rudge after a Charles Dickens
character, is being sold for £60,000 in Rye near McCartney's private
recording studio.
According to a family friend, the adverts don't mention its connection with the pop star, saying only that the boat has an 'interesting history'.
Speaking to the Sunday Express, family friend Eric Green said: 'He has decided to make the break with the past and move on.
Paul McCartney married Linda Eastman in 1969 (pictured the same year,
left) before the Beatles split up. The duo then formed pop group Wings
which won several Grammy awards (right)
The couple enjoyed a happy marriage until Linda was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1995
After a three-year battle with the disease, Linda died in 1993 on the couple's ranch in Scottsdale, Arizona
In happier times the couple spent a lot of time on the boat, and at this farmhouse in Mull of Kintyre, Scotland
'Paul no longer uses the boat because it has memories he
does not want to dwell on because of the cruel way Linda was taken from
him through cancer.'
A spokesman for McCartney said all proceeds from the sale would be donated to Oxfam.
Paul McCartney married Linda Eastman in March 1969 and the couple became virtually inseparable, often holidaying on their farm in the remote Mull of Kintyre, Scotland.

Pictures: 'Ghost boat' washed ashore in Washington may have come from Japanese tsunami
- Fri, 2 May 2014
A boat believed to have been set adrift following the 2011 tsunami in
Japan has washed up in Washington after travelling 4,000 miles.
The vessel, which washed up on Monday morning, is covered in barnacles and seaweed and was turned over to the US Coast Guard for inspection.
An Asian language was found written on the boat's nameplate but unfortunately it's barley legible.
The Department of Ecology later tested the boat for invasive species following concerns about the marine life attached to the boat.
Officials are now working with the Japanese Consulate in Seattle to help identify the boat and its origins.
The 2011 tsunami that hit Japan washed around five millions tonnes of debris into the sea, with 70 per cent of it eventually sinking.
Waves and ocean currents have dispersed the remaining debris across the globe.
