Sailfish 25 for sale in Burnham Yacht Harbour, CM0 8BL United Kingdom

Description

The Sailfish 25, designed by Angus Primrose, offers a spacious, moderately fast small cruiser. The major advantage is the ability to explore shallow estuaries and use cheaper drying moorings due to her lifting keel, which reduces the draft from 3'7" to 13". 'Rozinante' had her engine completely overhauled over the winter of 2023/24, and the lift keel mechanism was also overhauled at the same time. She would be a good alternative for anyone looking at a Westerly Centaur or similar.
