Owners Comments
The Watson hull was based on the Scottish fishing boat design by GL Watson and has proved to be an excellent sea keeping shape. She benefits from heating and has mast raising & lowering gear and recent standing rigging. A survey report has been carried out in May 2023, there are quite a few smaller jobs to be carried out, hence the attractive asking price.
