Broker Comments

A well maintained popular raceboat. Although raced regularly the boat could easily be converted back to cruising by the addition of a boom, sail collector and a jib roller reefing. The addition of the retractable bow sprit also enables one to fly an asymmetrical sail stowed by roller reefing. With a good itinerary of new Navionics and Equipment, updated rigging and sails, 'Revie' makes an impressive racing vessel or a fast cruiser. She's just been hauled out and cleaned, anodes replaced and is ready to go.
