Broker's Comments

An elegant wooden motor cruiser that has been converted from a former fishing vessel and now provides spacious and comfortable accommodation for up to eight people. With four separate sleeping areas, two saloon areas, a good sized galley, a well equipped bridge and beautiful timber panels and flooring this vessel provides a generous level of space, style and comfort. On deck there is also plenty of space to relax, fish, sunbathe and enjoy the view. The solid Gardner engine with huge fuel and water storage would enable the vessel to travel to far-off ports and harbours. She appears to have been very well mainatined and ready to sail.
Contact the broker to visit this lovely lady and start planning your future voyages.
