Description
This is a really good example of these very popular bilge keel yachts. Antar's hull, deck and interior are in exceptional condition for her age. She has 4 berths in 2 cabins, a porta-potti toilet, a 5hp outboard engine and 3 suits of sails plus a cruising chute. Her electronics are fairly basic which is an opportunity to fit the instruments of your choice! There is a purpose built twin axle trailer available by separate negotiation.

General Remarks
"Antar" has been in the same careful ownership for the last 11 years. She is in remarkably good condition internally and externally bearing in mind her age. She is very tidy and would easily be mistaken for a much younger vessel. She is original in the best possible way that is, she has not been mucked about with and had lots of unnecessary gear screwed to her!
Her sail wardrobe is extensive and all appear to be in good condition and certainly very serviceable. Her navigation equipment is basic and a new owner may wish to fit more up to date kit.
There is a good twin axle road trailer, professionally serviced, available at an additional cost of £1,000. Photographs available on request.
