Remarks:
This is a great opportunity to purchase a recently completed (excluding rigging) Spray, only for sale due to the owners changed retirement plans. The professionally constructed hull and superstructure have been fitted out to a robust and elegant standard. This boat is fully operational for power cruising, and has all the deck equipment in place for convenient rigging. Her owner states that, whilst they obviously cannot comment on her performance under sail, her performance under power has been well monitored and she has impressed many with her smoothness and manoeuvrability, and that in common with most Sprays she is more easily driven than her appearance suggests. She will make a comfortable, robust and powerful power or sailing cruiser for her new owners.
The owner of this vessel is willing to consider a part exchange for a smaller sailing cruiser (30ft-35ft) with a draft of less than 4ft 6in and a large aft cockpit.
