Broker's Comments

A true Classic small yacht with a fully justified reputation for seaworthiness. designed by Jeremy Rogers along the lines of the Folkboat but with improved accommodation.

These boats have sucessfully completed circumnavigations and have also won major races. Thanks to the current owner this boat is equipped for racing with all new Saunders sails purchased in 2018 and used only once!

Our first impressions are that there has been a lot of time/money spent on the exterior of this boat and her racing equipment and some minor attention to her interior would make her a worthy "true classic".

Although this boat is set up to be a racer but would also be a good easy to handle short handed cruiser.

These boat details are subject to contract.
