Broker Comments

A fantastic example of this well regarded cruiser, this is a loved and looked after vessel. Regularly serviced and maintained by her only Owner. "easy to manoeuvre under power, and responsive under sail..............a good choice for the cruiser whose intention it is to put many miles under her keel" (practicalsailor,com)
