History Bought new by her one owners ,, she has been treasured ever since.. full history and easy clean paperwork, she has been lifted ashore virtually every year for a good drying out period. as soon as she gets to us here in Hythe she will be lifted washed and prepared etc as usual.
Broker's Comments One of my all time favourite boats, they are superb at sea for a boat of her size, I have done many trips in weather I would have excused myself for staying tied up in..., The light stiff hull is easily driven and her power to weight allows you to be very nimble in large seas.. her ability to hold 20 knots fast cruising at 4 gallons per hour is also going to be popular at todays prices..
