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.
