Broker's Comments

This is probably the best example of a Kent 8m Motorsailer that you will find anywhere. She has been extensively and sympathetically refitted by her present owner who is a very competant retired aircraft engineer. Consequently, every mechanical and electrical part of this vessel works just as it should - a rare commodity on most yachts even half her age!
She is an out-and-out motorsailer that has been to Ireland and Liverpool recently, crewed by husband and wife, and she's even been known to race around the local cans, though it must be said she didn't win much silver! She is a safe and solid seamanlike vessel at a very realistic asking price, only for sale since her owners have purchased a larger yacht.
This boat has been viewed and photographed by Alan Coy of Boatshed Wales. Register or log in to see 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. The vendor is not selling in the course of a business unless otherwise stated. Personal property is excluded from the sale of the vessel unless specifically included in the listing specification above or in a purchase contract. Personal property may be equipment or gear not permanently attached to the vessel including but not limited to: artwork, entertainment equipment, fishing equipment, TV receivers, recreational equipment, kayaks, tools, and personal appliances. Photos that may incidentally depict owners' personal property do not convey that such items are included in the sale of the vessel unless such items are specifically listed herein. At all times, where the particulars herein give details of a new boat and/or a new boat to be supplied/built by a builder/manufacturer, or a boat to be chartered, via our introduction, we do not guarantee or assume responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of any information offered by third-party companies in respect thereof including without limitation new boat builders/manufacturers, charter companies and/or companies/businesses which are ‘Friends of Boatshed’.
