Additional Comments
This is an exceptionally well built and equipped blue water cruising yacht. She has had three owners from new. Her current owner has completed an Atlantic circuit (Canaries, Caribbean, BVI's, Bermuda, Azores, Spain and back to the UK). He has accomplished his dream in completing this voyage and so will be moving to a smaller yacht for local sailing when she is sold.
She is a proven go anywhere cruising yacht. She has been continually refitted and updated by her owners and so is very much ready to explore the oceans again.
