Broker's Comments

I remember sitting on a Bowman 40 ish at Southampton Boat Show several years ago and feeling wow what quality. Stepping aboard the Amber 40 one gets the same feeling quite different to production built yachts. This was a real treat from the wide decks to safe deep cockpit and luxury below. The owner has extensively cruised her in the Med and a double crossing of the Atlantic. She came 13th out of 230 yachts in the 2005 ARC comfortably doing 170 miles in 24 hours. She is all set up to Blue Water Cruise and these brief details will come no where close to showing how nice she is. The owner is keen to sell and will consider a part exchange of a major brand yacht so if you want a fantastic long range cruising yacht then you may not even have to sell seperately to buy. It is truely a lovely boat.
