>> When buying check out what upgrades have been done: navigation, engine, sails.
>> If the boat has been well looked after there should be records of everything.
>> It’s a great sailing boat, with very good accommodation, strongly built, and quite easy to maintain.
>> I love this boat and would not change her for anything else.
>> I’ve clocked up a lot of miles over the years, on a long run with a fair wind she sails like a dream.
