History Well.. I worked on this boat when I was 19 yrs and she was in build.. I also delivered her to her very first owner.. from Sittingbourne to Le Harvre, so the owner could take her up to Paris.. I went on to deliver and demonstrate many of these boats and they are a fabulous solid and seakindly hull.. the soft entry forward and space around deck make them safer than many boats at sea.. good headroom throughout,, enormous flybridge because of the flying deck over side deck aft.. This owner is we think the third and he has maintained her well. What a great deal of boat for the money.. TAMD60's at 1000 hours should have loats of life left,,, and the hull looks in excellent shape..
Broker's Comments Fabulous lot of able and spacious boating for the money that would not buy you a 30 ' "plastic fantastic"

Ashore Poole Harbour £ 69,000 BARGAIN...
