Broker's Comments

A lovely wooden sloop designed by the legendary Alan Buchanan. She appears to be in good condition with no obvious water ingress through the hull or the topsides that I could see when I was onboard. The hull and deck have been freshly painted and look smart. Down below in the cabin she is quite basic but could easily be made more comfortable with the inclusion of cushions, a small stove and basin. As presented she would be an attractive day-sailer and with a little upgrading she could be a comfortable small cruiser, with her long keel, deep cockpit, wide side decks and easy rig. Very competitively priced to sell this season, so call the broker to arrange a visit onboard.
