Broker's Comments

This is a really fine looking yacht, that I think anyone would feel good on!

Lovely white deck space, with plenty of lounging room and a wide, open cockpit with teak inlaid seating all lend to a special feeling.

Her topsides could do with some serious polishing attention, to return to her original rich colour.

She has a huge interior, with plenty of room for family and friends, with almost a separate compartment forwards for her owners.

With lots of stowage, plenty of seating and a well equipped galley, she could see you for weekend coast hopping or much longer cruisers, on that trip of your dreams!

She's incredibly well equipped, with far too much too list, her lockers are rammed with yachting equipment!

There are a few known defects, which we've listed and she hasn't really been sailed for about three years, so she has the feeling that a really good wipe through and clean could breathe the life back into her, though her owner has serviced her engine each year and it started perfectly from cold.

If you want a very attractive yacht to take you places - short passages or further afield, then this yacht is one to take a fast look at!
