Broker's Comments

This really is quite a special craft. There are few boats that could inspire so much confidence, in ability at sea as well as the sense of "well being". She was commissioned to a very full and detailed specification, The interior is in very good order, and the exterior is really quite exceptional..She must be viewed to understand her build quality . to replace today well in advance of £1,000,000.

The extras make her want for very little. She is much admired every time she pulls in! THIS IS NOT A NORMAL NELSON !!
