Broker's Comments

First impressions usually last and this one looks great with her typical Colin Archer curved stem and canoe stern. As you go below she is just as good. Massively built for blue water cruising the interior is largely unspoilt and has been kept in original condition over the years. With her long keel and heavy displacement she should be a most comfortable sea boat. If you are looking for a classic, this one from the famous Norwegian Christiansen yard, could well be it.
