Remarks

This is a beautiful, classically styled, cruising yacht, which has only spent approximately 14 of her 30 years afloat and was the subject of an extensive refit in 2005. She is currently lying ashore with a bare hull to dry out (antifoul and epoxy removed) and she shows no signs of osmosis or blistering. She is normally berthed in a local marina which has excellent facilities. A quick sale is desired, and this is therefore a fantastic opportunity to purchase a fully equipped cruising yacht at a price substantially below her market value.
