Broker's Comments

A delightful little yacht!
The Snapdragon 29 is designed and built by Thames Marine. She is a bilge keel yacht which gives you the opportunity for drying out in harbours and on beaches and also to use drying moorings, which are less expensive than marina moorings.

Interior: She is clean, tidy, well organised and appears to have been well cared for, including new upholstery in 2020.

Exterior: Despite her age she appears to be in very good condition.

There is lots to like about this yacht and if you would like to know more, or arrange a viewing than please do contact our office and we would be happy to help.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
