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, with the major advantage of being able to explore shallow estuaries and to 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.
