Broker's Comments

This really does seem an exceptional boat!

She's very clean and polished, inside and out - her owners have all done a fantastic job of keeping her looking almost like new!

Her exterior looks very smart and she has a lovely cockpit, with plenty of space and a great cockpit tent. Her interior is very, very light, bright and airy and is extremely well thought out, with additions designed in everywhere, to make all spaces useful and versatile - some thought has really gone into her design.

If you're after a really nice and clean looking example of one of the boats made by this legendary marque, then I don't think you'll find any better than this. Be quick!

Her berthing at Brighton is paid until August 2002, subject to marina approval.

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

Hi Iain, she's still for sale - fresh to the market - and can be viewed at Brighton Marina. She's a good one - I'd be quick! Cheers, tim@boatshed
