Broker's Comments

It's not every 28ft yacht that comes with its own history book, Kipper Tales, nor can boast the fact that she has been home to two adventurers for nearly two decades whilst cruising to and from the Med (from the uk) on no less than five occasions!
After those documented adventures (a copy of Kipper Tales is included in the purchase price!) she was acquired in 2011 by a retired professional boat fitter who carried out a thorough overhaul during 2012, replacing many items. The list is too long to include here but forms part of the ships papers.
Kipper is a substantial craft, is well found and capable of extensive cruising and many more adventures I'm sure. She is on the market at a realistic asking price for a swift sale as her current owner is 'of a certain age' and tide and time wait for no man. She is currently ashore in our yard at Neyland, Pembrokeshire and was photographed on the water last week and ashore today 3/10/2016.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
