She Has a good sized cuddy cabin offering 2 berths and a generous cockpit area with seating for 5 in comfort. The upholstery is unblemished and is of good quality both in the cockpit and saloon. The road trailer completes a very well looked after overall package and represents good value for money for anyone wanting to enjoy being on the water for little investment.
The current owners have owned the vessel since 2001, and have used her for a mixture of cruises, inland, coastal and trailing to further afield cruising grounds.
