Broker's Comments

Finesse 24's were built to last a lifetime.
This truly immaculate example has been lovingly restored and maintained by her current owner. This very boat was extensively featured in Classic Boat (issue 220 - October 2006).
She is without a doubt the best example currently on the market and attracts huge interest wherever she goes. A proper little classic ship to be proud of.

These boat details are subject to contract.
