Broker's Comments

The Achilles 9m is a highly capable offshore cruising boat, one of which successfully completed the OSTAR sailed by her designer, Chris Butler.

This is an example of a great boat, designed for short-handed long- distance sailing. She is back on the market having recently been sold by Boatshed but unfortunately her new owner has had to have a change of plan. During his short period of ownership he has renewed the standing and running rigging, replaced the windows, heads seacocks, had an engine service, upholstery clean and she is antifouled and back in the water.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
