Remarks:
With her pleasant and very homely interior (with recently re-upholstered berth cushions), and more space than is normal for a couple or small family to spend time and overnight on board thanks to her cockpit enclosure, this Pandora 700 also benefits from having her original gelcoat finish throughout, including her hull, thereby minimising ongoing maintenance (more time sailing, less time painting!). In the current ownership for some 8 years, she is now offered for sale to make time for other hobbies. A very well presented example, and an ideal first boat/sailing cruiser.
Please note, no trailer is included or available with this boat.
