Broker's Comments

This is a seriously well equiped, and a very seaworthy, live-aboard vessel that would suit anybody planning long passages. The present owners have owned her for 23 years and have always replaced and upgraded anything that needed doing and she is now probably a better boat than when she was new.

This boat has been viewed and photographed by Peter Delbridge of Boatshed Hamble. Register or log in to see 49 more photos of this boat. These boat details are subject to contract.

Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

Where the particulars herein give details of a boat, whether new or used, they are intended to give a fair description of the vessel but are not guaranteed as accurate or complete. They shall not form part of any offer or contract for the sale of the vessel. The prospective purchaser is recommended to independently check the particulars and the vessel.
