Broker's Comments

These spacious and comfortable cruisers offer a lot of value for money. This looks like an excellent example of a well cared-for boat that has a recent survey, antifouling and anodes.

She has had the original mast replaced by an in-mast system. The Bukh 20hp engine started from cold on the button and ran smoothly. She also has a comprehensive set of additional sails, including a spinnaker and cruising chute.

This boat has bilge keels which are encapsulated, so no worries about keel bolts.

Inside the upholstery is unmarked, the cooker looks new and there are no signs of water ingress through the windows, which are not original.

Such a vessel could suit a first time buyer as well as a boat for a growing family.

A new owner may wish to install a dedicated chart plotter and a wind speed indicator. The current owners rely on Navionics on an Ipad and avoid very windy conditions.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
