Her semi-displacement hull provides a comfortable ride offshore yet productive performance in coastal cruising.
Timeless Aesthetic & Functional Layout
Classic Nelson styling: sweeping sheer lines, generous wheelhouse, forward plus aft cabin configuration.
Traditional craftsmanship is evident in her joinery - teak or mahogany fittings, warm wood tones, portholes and robust windows. Interior offers a pleasing mix of practicality and charm.
There are 6 berths, with a forward cabin V-berth plus a converted seating area to double berth. A spacious wheel house and an aft cabin provides two further berths / seating; galley facilities and ample storage make her suitable for extended weekends or longer cruises.
For the last 10 years this boat has been well maintained and was used by a marine company for crew training.
There is also a selection of engine spares included in the sale.
Please note: during a recent lift out Osmosis was discovered to areas of the hull.
