In built foot steps on the hull at the base of the cockpit which allows reboarding of vessel from the water. A simple stroke of design genius and an important safety feature which leaves me wondering why all boats don't have this!
Broker's Comments
A real pocket cruiser that will take you across any ocean in almost any condition. Plenty of stowage, rock solid rigging, super strong hull & deck and very pretty lines ever so reminiscent of a Van der Stadt. At the risk of sounding biased, I think she's great and you will too. U.K. SSR registered. VAT is due. See "more photos" to view 39 internal and external photos of this vessel.
