Remarks:
The Pirate is a well regarded sailing boat designed by Ian Proctor and built by Ridgeway Marine
This is a “well used” example and would benefit from some further t.l.c., though she has benefited from some fibreglass repairs during the last year
A new owner would be rewarded with an excellent sailing boat most suitable for day sailing and occasional overnight stays
The boat can be purchased without the motor and/or the trailer if desired
The seller has bought a larger boat and is keen to sell
