Broker's Comments
The running rigging needs replacing. The boat has a 240 Volt inverter, 80 Amp battery recently replaced and battery monitor.
This is not a boat for comfort! It is a racing boat and can be easily steered with one hand. It offers protection from rain and bad weather. You can also sleep on it for a day or two.
The owner, who has to sell the boat for health reasons, sailed his boat in the UK 29 years ago. Then he imported it to Thailand via Singapore. He is very sad that he can no longer sail the boat and hopes it will be in good hands.
Note: boat details are subject to contract.
Offers of the asking price may be considered.
