Broker's Comments
Only 29 Sterling 28s were built, all by Uphams and all in wood. Very similar to the Twister. This one is sail number 29 so it is likely she is the last example to have been built, having only had three previous owners. The 0riginal owner sailed her from the West Country for many years, during which time she sailed to Ireland. The current owner has sailed her up the East Coast, through the Caledonian Canal, to Oban on the West Coast of Scotland, where she lived for 3 years and cruised the area extensively, exploring between the North of Skye and the Crinan Canal. What else can I add a very capable yacht in good condition viewing is recommended.
