Description

Triple keel Achilles 24, sail no. 351, launched 1975, current owner since 2015. Simple and rewarding to sail: shallow draft (1m) allows access to interesting cruising areas (e.g. rivers) and her triple keel allows her to dry out upright while retaining strong performance.

Lying Emsworth, can deliver in Solent and possibly beyond by negotiation.
