Broker's Comments
A fabulous blue water cruising boat that is in ready to go condition. Steel construction gives incredible strength. Fully equiped as far as electronics, auto pilot, windvane steering etc. The current owner has sailed her from Oz to NZ and back. Circumnavigated NZ and then crossed the Indian Ocean to the Seychelles, through the Suez Canal, the Med and now is lying in London. When you see her on the dock she looks like she is chomping on the bit for the return journey. A serious blue water boat that is seriously for sale.
