Broker's Comments
This boat has been viewed and photographed by Miles Booker of Boatshed Sussex. Register or log in to see more photos of this boat. These boat details are subject to contract.
This is just the boat for someone looking for their first coastal cruiser. She is very clean and has lots of modern equipment. The hull was re-epoxied in 1996 and she is stored ashore during the winter.
The saloon is spacious and the upholstery is in very good condition. The forward cabin is also roomy and can be shut off from the saloon.
All in all this boat is a great package and will serve its new owner well. Do not delay in coming to see for yourself.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
