Extras Not sure what to write in this box..!! the boat is fully equipped and ready to cruise, the owner has removed a flat screen TV which had DVD and french compatibility for his next boat but otherwise she comes pretty much ready to go, 3.5KVA Zeise generator, davits, dinghy (Avon 3.1 rib) 5hp Yamaha outboard, Beaching legs, life jackets, life belts, summer and winter cover sets, mast with boom, diesel fired central heating, as well as some oil filled rads, Big electric windlass , Victron 2K inverter, many spares, side boarding ladder and full gangplank arrangement, aft bimini awning, spare propellers,
History Just three owners from new. In present ownership since 1998 she has cruised far and wide and has proved herself a very able seaboat and capable inland cruiser as well.. Down the Seine to the Med(Via Rhone) eventually,, on to Barcelona, back and through Midi to Burgundy.., up the bay of Biscay, along adjacent coast of France often and all around the south and southwest of UK . A remarkable motoryacht in superb ready to use condition.. Kept beautifully.. but do not be fooled... this boat is an able Cruising boat with space, ability, and practicallity in todays world. not something to be considered a "Museum piece", she will burn little enough fuel to compete against modern boats, with her fabulous new Vetus deutz she is cleaner than ever before and whilst paint has to be kept up with every second year or so, the boat is not especially "Expensive to maintain"
Broker's Comments Must be the one boat in our marina that makes you feel good just sitting aboard.. user friendly, something to give real pride of ownership..  appears structurally and mechanically very sound, cosmetically beautiful.. (recent survey for insurance)
