Broker's Comments

This looks like a great example of one of these very popular cruisers.

She's very well equipped and offers a great sailing performance, whilst down below, you'll find ample roomy accommodation.

Her saloon offers seating for four and overall, she can sleep 6 in relative comfort.

She comes with a decent navigation area and there is good access to her inboard engine.

With a boat of this size, there's always a compromise somewhere - the taller amongst us may find her head height a bit restrictive, but if you're after a comprehensively equipped and comfortable, well performing yacht at a great price, then we recommend a look at her - quickly!

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