Broker's Comments
This timeless classic has been the subject of many upgrades and improvements by the current owner. The rigging has been replaced with the shroud plates strengthened. She also comes with a virtually new mainsail and good Genoa.
Inside the accommodation has been improved by the creation of a full size double bed using bespoke "in-fills" - the ingenious original folding table has been retained.
She is in great condition through out and if you are looking for a classic shaped yacht with a great reputation then arrange a viewing by contacting me.
