Owners Comments
The sails are a few years old but perfectly good for normal use but not for racing. All the nav system (B&G) plus B&G radio was new in 2019 along with a new main sheet. The engine is a Yanmar 3GM The engine has been regularly serviced and the underside antifouled every year. She spends a few months a year out of the water and is in very good condition for her age. She had a new mast fitted before I brought her and this was done by reputable mast manufacturer. I have the paperwork. The yacht doesn’t have running back stays due to the new mast design.
I'll be sorry to see "Magnum" go, but I am moving on with a new racing yacht. I am sure the next owner will enjoy "Magnum" as much as I have.
