Owners Comments:
I purchased this with the intent on going down through the French Waterways however given the current situation this no longer seems to be an option, so I am returning to a sailing yacht. I spent a considerable amount of time and effort preparing Capercaillie over the winter so someone will benefit from a ready to go boat.
