Broker's Comments

This is probably the nicest example of a Snapdragon 26 I've seen - certainly in the last ten years! She has had a major refit just eight years ago, including the fitting of a new engine, rewiring, fuel tank etc. These boats were built on the Norman Cathedral principle; ie we're not sure how strong this new-fangled GRP stuff is, so we'll double up the thickness!
She's going back in commission at the end of April if she is still unsold so if you want to view her ashore you'd better be quick.
She might be forty years old but you could say, in her case, life has only just begun!
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
