Broker's Comments

There were only seven of these David Thomas designed boats built for racing and this owner has the original signed drawings.

Both the cockpit and interior accommodation are spacious and comfortable, complemented by six berths, separate heads, forecabin and ample storage space.  The saloon provides open plan space for relaxing and entertaining, with a galley that is comfortable to prepare meals in and a navigation area with plenty of room for passage planning and working with charts.   The sale also includes a Liferaft, a Wind Pilot and dinghy. Although the engine was installed in 2008, it has had very little use since and the sails look to be in very good condition.

This boat would be suitable for a variety of interests and uses, including cruising in comfort and competitive, club racing.  For anybody looking for a competitively priced, well equipped performance cruiser, this boat should be considered. If this is the type of boat you are looking for, please do contact us for more information and to arrange a viewing.

There is also a new boxed AMPAIR Pacific 100 WATT marine wind generator available for separate negotiation.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
