Broker's Comments

I first saw this boat ashore. My first impression was of a beautifully shaped and faultless hull. Not a single blemish in view.

Three decades ago a 31 footer would have ranked as a medium to large sailing boat. I certainly thought so when I sailed a 31 footer across Biscay and down to Gibraltar in 1988. These days they rank as small boats yet they are tough and designed for sailing and not sitting in a marina.

The owner of this boat has lovingly restored her but other activities beckon and he has made the sad decision it is time to part ways.

This boat will suit a starter or an older sailor who wants to own a boat that he can handle single handedly. You will fall in love with her the moment you see her.
