We bought her when she was a year old and have cruised her locally and also crossed to Holland and Belgium 4-5 times. We do not choose to go out in poor weather so generally she has not been sailed in very strong winds. Whilst she was not purchased because of her lift keel it has proven so useful it will definitely be a requirement on our next boat. Extras include the uprated 78 bhp turbo Volvo Penta diesel engine, American cherry interior wood, white Alacantara seat covering, kedge anchor, teak lifting table in the cockpit, electric lift keel, bow thruster, spinnaker and pole, battery charger, lazy jacks and bag. Instruments at the nav station include Raymarine RL70C chartplotter and radar, Navtex, Raymarine multi repeater, Garmin GPS, and at the helm Raymarine RL70C repeater (allows separate chart of radar information, ST 60 Depth Sounder, ST 60 Log, ST 60 Wind Speed and Direction and Autohelm control, traditional compass. In addition there is a remote control for the autopilot. In the saloon there is an Icom 601 VHF radio with repeater mic. In the cockpit. Radio/CD player with external speakers in the cockpit. There is an electric windlass and double bow rollers. The boat has teak sidedecks. Every year the engine has been winterised and recommissioned by Volspec, the local Volvo agents and the sails have serviced by Parker and Kay at Levington. The boat has always been very well cared for and is in superb condition. |
