Remarks

Said to be one of the fastest trailer sailers in Australia at the time of launch, the Timpenny 670 has pleasing lines, offers very good sailing performance and is a delight to handle, being easy to tow, launch and recover. This example, complete with break-back trailer, is understood to be in good order throughout, with all gear in good, little used condition. Having previously sailed on the Solent, the current owner of some 12 years has competed in local Broads sailing events including the Three Rivers Race, and states that she's fun in a breeze and loves Breydon! A great trailer sailer!
