Broker's Comments

Very safe, solid and sturdy seaboat, the Macwester 27 has proved popular with families over the years thanks to her reassuring performance at sea. This is a particularly fine 1978 example, in excellent condition throughout and very well equipped ready for extended passage-making. She comes with an excellent full marine survey report from September 2010.
