Broker's Comments
If you're looking for a strong, speedy 28 footer that will not only keep you safe in all sorts of sea states but is also easy to sail & easy on the eye too, then look no further.
The Twister MkII with GRP hull and topsides was built to last and designed to win races, which it certainly did.
This example is well maintained and comes complete with a new 20 HP Beta engine (2016) and a Monitor self steering wind vane for those long sea passages.
Although snug by modern standards, the accommodation is well designed and has a decent sized galley, large nav table and berths for 4 fitted with lea cloths. With a separate heads and wet locker midships, she has a practical feel to her.
A well cared for yacht that has been in the current ownership for over a decade. This is a great all rounder for quick races & long safe passages, blue water cruising included.
