Great sailing boat, fiberglass hull and a sloop/cutter rigging system. Keel Bilge type, 1980, making it a classic vessel. The Make of the boat is Leisure 23, which is a well-known brand in the sailing community. It is perfect for those who want to get into crusing and want to experience the thrill of sailing. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a beginner, this boat will provide you with a unique and unforgettable experience.
I bought Meg in 2015 and have sailed the Essex coast, River Blackwater, up to Harwich, Felixstowe, Ipswich and Burnham on Crouch. It has a new 9.8 hp Tohatsu outboard engine with remote start and controls. The pictures are from last May just before she went back into the water in Brightlingsea where I have a mooring. You may be able to take on the mooring if you contact Brightlingsea Harbour.
I will take some pictures of the interior this week and add them to this.
