Broker's Comments
That unique Mike Heywood style. A wonderful solid traditional build. This is a boat to cherish.
An unusual feature of this boat is the full 2 metre internal headroom - a boon to the tall boater.
After 10 years she needs a bit of TLC. A lick of paint and bit of blacking. The internal fit out is basic but the layout is ideal.
A great buy for someone with a little time to invest to make this their dream boat.
