Owner Comments
"We have owned and enjoyed Melissa II for 7 years as our family cruiser. She has proven to be steady and easy to sail and has taken us safely around the Solent and Poole bay sailing areas and even taken part in the Round the Island race. She has been an excellent 'first' yacht to own and has given us many happy adventures being able to get into the local shallow water harbours." |
