Broker's Comments
It was a very tough decision for the current owners to put this vessel up for sale having owned her for over 20 years. But they feel the time has come where they were unable to use her to her full potential and so have decided to pass her on for new adventures.
My first impression when stepping abord this beautiful yacht was her imposing coach roof wheelhouse and stunning lines. Her deck space is vast and benefitting from high stanchion posts you feel very safe and secure on deck.
This is a rare and highly sought-after vessel in this configuration. Her pilot wheelhouse makes for a fantastic helm position keeping her skipper and crew well protected from the elements yet still allowing for great all-round visibility. She is also very well equipped with a great array of navigational electronics.
A credit to her current owners, she has a proven track record as a blue water cruiser having covered great distances from South Africa to the Caribbean and throughout the Mediterranean over the years.
Her accommodation is impressive with three large cabins, lots of berths and an incredible amount of headroom throughout her length.
The galley and saloon areas are also very large and well laid out with the galley boasting a large fridge, freezer, microwave, oven and hob.
A really nice and quite rare feature is having a workshop which is cleverly concealed below the floor area of the saloon. This is an essential area for being able to carry out any maintenance work on those long extended passages.
Her cockpit is large and deep and and feels safe, providing great shelter from the elements and has an impressive Bimini frame entirely covering the cockpit area which is also an ideal platform for solar panels - but does need to be recovered.
And finally, for those long stress free passages she is equipped with a wind vane complimented with her long, deep keel.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding this fabulous vessel or if you want to book a viewing.
