Broker's Comments

This boat has not been used for a number of years and is in need of some cosmetic work. She was laid up for three years prior to current owner purchasing in 2005 and then transported to Scotland.

The 2005 survey report items have been attended to, however due to current owner illness she has been kept laid-up since then.

Engine tested ok - June 2013.

She is a classic motor-sailer which is ideal for a light refurbishment project that will deliver a stong reliable weekend cruiser.

Mooring available by separate negotiation.
Dinghy and Outboard (Johnson 6 or Johnson 15) available by separate negotiation.
