Remarks:
Understood to sail well, she is very spacious having had her original layout restored by a previous owner and makes an ideal family sailing cruiser.
With a fairly new and good looking engine, this yacht is understood to be in generally sound condition, although she will require approximately three new planks to the bow. She has been ashore for the last 4 seasons and would now benefit from painting and varnishing and some general cosmetic tidying to bring her up to a standard that would reward the owner and see her afloat this season.
She is for sale as a repossession and is therefore sold as seen.
Please Note:
The photos show her from approximately 2017 when she was previously listed for sale with Topsail.
She will now require some tidying and general TLC to bring her back to the standard shown in these photographs, however they are included to give an indication of her features and layout.
Updated photos coming soon!
