Remarks

An exceptionally well presented Leisure 20 which benefits from having had many optional extras installed at the time of build and has been constantly updated and improved by both the current and previous owners. With an active owner's association, the Leisure 20 is a popular choice for both inland and coastal sailers, and offers ample space for a couple and children or spacious accommodation for two. For sale as the vendor wishes to upsize. A great little pocket cruiser!
