Remarks :The Finesse 24 is a proper quality build by A.F. Platt from his Essex yard. It's a 24ft vessel with big ships feel, packing a lot of onboard accommodation, plus spacious cockpit. This earlier one is constructed with mahogany clinker plank copper riveted to Canadian Rock Elm frames. She is classic in looks. Roomy and comfortable living down below she offers traditional sailing with full modern navigation systems.

Roomy and comfortable living down below she offers traditional sailing with full modern navigation systems. Seldom to market, they change hands infrequently. They attract fierce owner loyalty. Erika is in great all-round condition. She awaits her new custodian.
Accommodation :Living onboard this wooden vessel combines the visual beauty of the ships lines and cosiness and comfort she offers, with 4 berths in 2 cabins. There is an extra-large hatch opening from cockpit to cabin and she is surprisingly roomy for a 24tf vessel, offering 5ft 8ins standing headroom
