Owners remarks

"Rum Truffle" was bought by two former airline pilot brother in 2011.  We have sailed her regularly, mainly along the south coast and kept logs of every trip and every pound spent.  We have constantly updated the equipment to ensure performance, safety and comfort.  She is easily handled by two people although is great to have a full house.  As we reach our mid 80's it seems a good moment to offer her for sale to younger yachtsmen who may wish to take advantage of her 'blue water' capabilities.
