Broker's Comments

A classic wooden sloop built in 1960; her owner has kept her well maintained and in good order. The hull is mahogany on oak and she has an inboard Perkins 18hp diesel engine that was fitted in 1992 and professionally refurbished in 2008. At the same time the prop shaft and engine mounts were renewed.
The accommodation has good head room (Approx 5ft 10 inches) and sleeps 3.
