Exterior: The vessel is fitted with a galvanised pulpit and comes complete with an Avon Redstart dinghy, 20 lb CQR anchor plus chain and warp.
REMARKS: The owner has done a lot of work in bringing this vessel up to a good condition. This has included: keel bolts replaced 1994, new engine installation 1995, various interior improvements carried out by A F Platt (her builder) in 1994. This included modifying the plate to an "L" shape, thus allowing for a smaller plate casing, giving more living space. It is understood that she was last surveyed in 1997. Paint and varnishwork is in good condition.
OUR OPINION: A nice example of these classic small yachts: well worth seeing.
