Sagamore" is a Saltram Saga 40. She has been extensively sailed in the
UK, France and the Mediterranean and has very recently returned from a long cruise to Italy and
Sicily. She is in exceptionally good condition overall and has a wonderfully light and air y feel to
her below decks. She would make an ideal long-distance cruising yacht for a couple and would
provide a safe, seaworthy yacht together with a very homely environment in which to live.
