REMARKS
"Skye" was purchased by her present owner in 2020. She has been ashore for the previous 2 years and required a great deal of caulking, painting and varnishing. Her owner works in the marine industry so was able to fully overhaul the 28hp Volvo diesel and re-wire the boat. She now sits afloat in Tollesbury Marina and takes only a small amount of water to her bilge (no cockpit cover so rain water mostly). The solar panel charges the battery and she has two auto bilge pumps in case. There is some small jobs to be completed by the new owner such as adding a plotter or more lights, all the cables are in place ready for this.
She is a very attractive classic motor sailer from a highly regarded designer.
