Broker's Comments
Boatshed Essex are pleased to present this lovely Snapdragon 890, which are well regarded and sort after yachts and it's easy to see why. With their deep spacious cockpit, easliy workable decks and bilge keels, it's ideal for cruising the rivers and estuaries and capable for longer off shore cruising.
I was struck by the good sized saloon, galley and separate heads, sleeping five comfortably and with nearly a three metre beam, the interior feels very spacious, with plenty of storage. Throughout this current ownership, there have been many upgrades, including installation of a new engine, upgrading if the rig, new sails and the addition of heating. It appears to have been looked after and set up for holidays, cruising and enjoying cosy weekend breaks aboard.
This is a lot of boat for the money and well worth serious consideration.
