Broker's Comments
These boat details are subject to contract
This boat has lovely lines, well appointed bright and airey accommodation and she smells lovely. She has been well loved and looked after by her owners and is well specified to allow for long holidays too.
She is ready to go back in the water and sail away. The only thing on the urgent to do list seems to be to repair/renew the main genoa.
She is great value for money and would suit a couple or young family or even allow for two couple ownership.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
