Broker's Comments

Here is, to coin a cliché, a 'Proper Little Ship'. She has had two owners from new, her original owner was an engineering company owner with a steel shipbuilding background. He commissioned the design, a 'one off', and steel fabrication commenced in 1985. She was first commissioned upon completion in 1991. She is a well found and solid motor sailor suited to extended cruising or as a comfortable year round live-aboard. There is an especially comfortable wheel house, saloon, a spacious aft cabin with its own heads, and a forward cabin adjacent to the main heads compartment. The current owner, of the last two years, has improved her considerably. The motor has been recently serviced and is in excellent order and reliable. She has new upholstery and wheelhouse cover as well as new deck canvas on skylight and lockers. Her sails are in almost new condition and we believe that her first owner never used the main at all! She sails well, motors well, but her current owner finds her just too large for his purpose. He has found her replacement, hence her very keen asking price. I consider her to be an absolute bargain and would have no hesitation in paying the asking price myself if I wanted such a vessel or floating home!
NB. Her picturesque berth may be available by negotiation.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: We understand that the owner may consider a CLOSE offer on the asking price.
