Description

This is one of the best kept boats of its kind and age. Built in 1998, it featured in the Souhampton Boatshow that year. As a show boat, it has some optional extras, including two extra opening ports, midships spring cleats and a stern boarding ladder. The hull below the waterline also had epoxy paint applied from new and was re-epoxied 2012. The boat has not had any undesirable modifications made and is almost as original, eg with the addition of a second battery and fixed VHF DSC radio with GPS and mast aerial. For the past 10 winters the boat has been laid up ashore. During this ownership it has not been raced. It currently lies on a river mooring in protected water in the West Solent.
