Broker's Comments

This looks to be a great example of one of these extremely popular family cruisers.

Her first impressions are bright and white - and she seems exceptionally well-equipped too.

This boat appears to be the complete package and her owner has made many great recent improvements and additions!

Her interior is a very traditional layout, made from very traditional materials - and it all works really well to bring you function and comfort too.

She comes laden with equipment that most other boats of this type will have and could be a brilliant investment for a couple, single hander, or small family for extended cruising.

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