This boat is for sale because her owner is working abroad and has not the time to use her fully. She is in need of some tidying inside but had quite a major refit in 1997 when, amongst other things, her rigging and keel bolts were renewed and her engine was overhauled. With her canoe stern, she is a very pretty boat. However, she could be greatly improved with some cosmetic TLC.
