Broker's Comments

The Rossiter Pintail is not just a classy, pretty looking yacht, it is also very capable and comfortable.

The long centre ballast keel is lead filled and fully encapsulated offering great stability at sea. Combine this with twin bilge keels and this vessel is just as much at home in shallow creeks and estuaries as on the open water.

The cockpit has high combings offering safety and protection from the weather. The forward deck is uncluttered, easy to move around and is fitted with a manual Simpson Lawrence windlass.

The accommodation has a traditional, warm, cosy feel throughout with four berths in two cabins (plus the possibility of an added pipe/cot berth), a separate heads compartment and lots of storage including two large hanging lockers. This example appears clean, tidy and dry with good quality upholstery, wooden floors and 5’10” head room at the cooker.

A traditional looking, practical, seaworthy yacht with character.
