Broker's Comments
If your in the market for a classic Cutter Rig that has age on her side then this maybe for you? Built and then commissioned in 1990 the Essex Smack is certainly an eye catching craft, she has the classic lines and build quality that has been lovingly looked after by her current owner, at a price that would be hard to beat ?
