OWNERS REMARKS

I have been refurbishing the boat since I purchased her in 2012. Besides the hull, masts and sails, almost everything else have been replaced or upgraded with new equipment or material including the engine and gearbox. We have cruised from Brightlingsea along the coast but only with limited use due to poor health, hence her reluctant sale.
