Broker's Comments

This is a very sturdy looking, striking ketch that should turn heads wherever she goes.

Her construction feels very strong and solid, with her long keeled steel hull and lots of solid woodwork - I think she'd be a very reassuring prospect in bad weather.

She has a very cosy and sheltered cockpit, leading down a steep companionway into a cavernous interior, deep within her hull.

She has a large saloon, with good headroom and from it, we have a large forward vee berth cabin and a linear style galley leading aft.

Through the galley we find the piece de resistance of this boat - the huge aft cabin. With a good sized double, sofa and masses of space, this could be the place to spend a lot of time!

If you're after a boat of these sort of qualities, then do take a look at her - she still needs plenty of jobs doing, but could be a sound and stable platform for further work.

These boat details are subject to contract.
