Broker's Comments

The Snapdragon 27 is one of the larger boats in the Snapdragon range. Its twin keels allow drying out, which enable the owner to take advantage of cheaper mooring costs and explore drying creeks and rivers. This example benefits from numerous recent upgrades to bring her up-to-date, including furling headsail, new mainsail and recent navigation instruments. She is presently in commission so is ready to sail away, although she is in end-of-season condition and would therefore benefit from a clean and tidy.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

This Snapdragon 27 has been personally photographed and viewed by Dave Peart of Boatshed Plymouth. Click here for contact details.
