Broker's Comments

This Cobra 850 is well presented with various upgrades in recent years. New headlining's were fitted in 2023 and in 2022 the interior and navigation lights were changed to LED, a diesel heater with a separate tank was installed and 200 watt solar panels fitted. She has also had a hull respray.
She is a boat which is easy to sail and is a good sea boat in adverse conditions. Being a bilge keeler she is able to dry out on sandy beaches, drying harbours and can use those cheaper drying moorings.
The accommodation comprises of a forward cabin with 2 separate single berths which can be converted into a double if required and the heads are to port. In the main saloon the galley is located to starboard with the chart table directly behind it. The settee berth converts to another double with a single quarter berth on the port side.
She has a deep safe cockpit making her ideal for family cruising.
A boat that deserves to be viewed.
