Just one look at her resting quietly on her mooring amongst all the plastic boats around her makes her beauty stand out even more. Her current owner is now living overseas and wants her to go to a new custodian. Her stunning lines, complimented by a small and well designed pilot house to keep out any foul weather, make her the perfect coastal cruiser for short handed voyages. Her freshly painted hull, deck and cockpit which are trimmed in Burmese teak, silver ash and Oregon are all complimented by solid bronze portholes.
