Arcturus has been in the same ownership since 2006 and serviced annually by Hamble Yacht Services. Predominantly cruised in the UK and North French Coast, the yacht has been set up to offer comfortable short-handed sailing but will sparkle with a racing hand that wants to push the limits!
Benefiting from a new rig, standing rigging and sails in 2017, this beautiful design has really stood the test of time and will be equally at home either in competition or looking after a family in comfort.
UK VAT PAID. PART EXCHANGE WELCOME. 2021 SURVEY AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
