Broker's Comments VERY nice example of this ever popular model from Princess. Just big enough to make channel trips easilly within realms, and not so big you cant get in the smaller harbours. Comfortable proportions to all berths, seats etc, very functional boats!Bernard Olesinski, has a good name for these hulls, and they cope very well indeed at sea.
