Ideal boat for coastal cruising and exploring rivers and creeks, with berth accommodation for 5. Seaworthy and practical, easy to handle; fun to sail either single or short-handed.
Located at Mylor Yacht Harbour, her sails and rigging were replaced in 2018 and 2020 and a New Yanmar 1GM diesel engine installed in 2017.
Her Mahogany clinker pram dinghy built in the 1930’s on the River Clyde is also included.
She was professional refurbished and varnished in 2022 and has been stored under cover for the last two years.
