Broker's Comments

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
First impressions of this rare pocket yacht is that she really is designed for offshore sailing. The seriously sloping side decks are, I guess, designed to quickly disolve any large waves landing on her.
The rig is uncomplicated and the winches and cleats appear to be well placed.
Below decks the layout is radically different from other boats and she feels incredibly spacious for a 27 footer. I have to admit that I spent some time just sitting, trying to work out how this had been so cleverly achieved.
The engine despite looking its age is good starter and runs well.
Great entry level proposition for a family wanting to do some serious sailing on a budget !
