Remarks

This boat completed a 10 year 1.5 circumnavigation with her first owner, and has cruised to France, Spain, Portugal, Morocco and the Canaries with her current owner and his family. Her current owner states that she is an ideal long distance cruiser for 2-4 people. It is believed that this boats stern gear, inlet and outlets, exhaust, fuel tank, all main pipe work, j-clips, engine mountings and both batteries (200amp & 80amp) were all replaced in 2003, and her owner states that the engine has been 100% reliable. She was last surveyed in 2002, and her owner reports that all recommendations were carried out. Although a few items of her huge inventory require servicing/minor repairs, she appears to have been very well maintained. She is now lying on the hard at Faro, Portugal. All sensible offers will be considered.
