Broker's Comments

That unique Mike Heywood style. A wonderful solid traditional build. This is a boat to cherish.

An unusual feature of this boat is the full 2 metre internal headroom - a boon to the tall boater.

After 10 years she needs a bit of TLC. A lick of paint and bit of blacking. The internal fit out is basic but the layout is ideal.

A great buy for someone with a little time to invest to make this their dream boat.
