Broker's Comments

Fairline Corniche flybridge cruiser for sale. Boatshed Midi Canals is pleased to offer this twin engined, fast cruiser for sale.

A 1990 boat not looking her age at all and in the same hands for the last 21 years. Everyone gets very paranoid about petrol engines these days but these two motors started in the blink of an eye, rumbled away contentedly in the engine bay and were barely audible from inside the saloon.

A great plus is that whilst the full height air draught is 4 meters, with the radar arch down the screens are just 3.15m and this allows passage through the canals to get from Black Sea to Atlantic and Baltic to Med the scenic way!

She's not a new boat but I was impressed by the apparent level of care taken by our vendor to keep her well looked after. For more information and appointments to view, contact Graham, your local broker at Boatshed Midi canals.
