Broker's Comments
Boatshed Falmouth are pleased to offer for sale a beautifully crafted, UK built, performance, gaff-rigged Heir Island Sloop day boat.
The Heir Island Sloop is unquestionably one of the finest designed and built gaff-rigged daysailer available – she is very pretty, sails like a dream and is beautifully finished. The hull is grp; deck, seats, coamings, spars are all hardwood timber (Iroko or Utile) and the fittings are all bronze or stainless steel.
She has some marks on her hull from her mooring strop, but otherwise she is all ready to sail.
Viewings are by prior appointment with Chris at Boatshed Falmouth and are available 6 days a week. These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
