In the cabin, the galley area is to port and provides a sink unit (manually pumped cold water), an Origo 2 burner spirit stove, cupboards and other storage. Opposite this is a drained hanging locker and boot rack, plus a Portapotti chemical toilet. Going forward, there is a full-length V-berth and a fitted table. The berths have lockers and built-in buoyancy under, and there is also a manual bilge pump. Navigation equipment includes: Echosounder, Autohelm 1000 autopilot and navigation lights. Deck equipment includes: Bronze spring cleats amidships, bronze mainsheet traveller, boarding ladder, cockpit cover, overall winter cover, Sampson post and grab rails.

A galvanised break-back road trailer with spare wheel and winch are included in the sale.

REMARKS: We understand this boat has been Gelshield coated from new and that, although she has been very little used, she has been regularly maintained with her engine being serviced by Yanmar. She is thus a good example of this well-built and popular design and, with her overnight accommodation and shallow draft capability, is ideal for exploring rivers and estuaries. Understood to be a good sea boat, her easy launch road-trailer and simple mast raising system make it feasible to enjoy distant cruising grounds and keep storage costs to a minimum.

OUR OPINION: Although not personally inspected, we understand this boat to be in immaculate condition: early viewing is recommended.
