Broker's Comments

Not many boats of this kind can claim to have circumnavigated the globe, this one has, according to her owner.

What's more, this vintage wooden boat appears to be in remarkably good condition thanks to the care of the last two owners: bilges virtually dry, modern electrics and control panel, hull and coamings treated recently. Her Lister 30hp engine started effortlessly from cold.

Her mainsail looks tired and the mahogany woodwork could do with a polish in some areas. The galley is rather too basic for today's sailors. but this classic still has plenty of life left in her and could make a great long distance passage maker or a live aboard.
