Broker's Comments

Preliminary Details: awaiting confirmation by owner. This Colin Archer type ketch exudes solidity yet her low profile coach roof gives her elegance. Built in 1990, she was thoroughly overhauled in 2003 for a Channel 4 TV documentary of a cruise along the Atlantic seaboard of the British Isles and up to the Faeroes. Her impressive list of quality equipment will make her a comfortable cruising yacht and easily handled by two crew. She is ready to go and is an opportunity to acquire a recently constructed “classic”.
