Broker's Comments
The owner of this boat has been living abroad for a number of years and so this Offshore 8M has had little or no attention for some time. It would be easy to assume that this time would have taken its toll but she is remarkably well presented.
To enjoy this boat, a full engine service would be required and most probably the battery replaced (Please note no equipment has been tested). Some light cleaning inside and out, some sanding and oiling of the woodwork and a general tidy up as well as anti fouling as expected.
The inventory would allow for her to be used from the offset with both head and main sails (available for inspection) and lots of navigation equipment, a cooker and functioning heads.
There is lots of history with this boat ranging from manuals, owner's notes and published articles.
This is a cracking opportunity to get on the water at a competitive price on a sailing boat that can accommodate adequately, three or four people.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
