Broker's Comments

A good example of this excellent, fast, family cruiser, which would make an ideal first sailing yacht. The interior is all teak fittings and provides a good level of accommodation, sleeping six people with two cabins.
The standing rigging was replaced in 2015. The date of the sails is not known, but they are in reasonable condition.

Very tidy Boat
Would it be possible to remain at that berth
I know its bit always protocol, but could you give an indication of monthly mooring costs.
