Broker's Comments

A striking looking steel boat, which has spent the last few years ashore undergoing a complete refit and specification increase. The builder quotes :- “a formidable, safe, roomy, weatherly and comfortable Ocean Cruising yacht. The design has a long established record of seaworthiness, based on the renowned ‘Colin Archer’ form.”

What particularly struck me about this boat is the care and detail the current owner has spent on her. I have tried to capture some of the details and have an itinerary which can be provided. This boat has been designed for serious cruising; she has had comfort, strength and security as the focus during the work which has been undertaken.
