Rival 32 for sale in Birdham United Kingdom

1977 Rival 32; 'Valerie' is surely one of the best Rival 32's around. Extremely well equipped and meticulously cared for by her owners of 14 years and the previous owner before that (only two owners since new). Valerie benefits from having a new BETA engine installed in 2017 with 165 hours use and is in immaculate condition. Antifouled and serviced in March, with an extensive sail wardrobe and stacks of useful equipment on board, Valerie is in sail away condition and ready for immediate use - just turn the key and go! Comes with extensive information and manuals, and the current owner is also happy to share his knowledge. Priced for a straightforward sale, excellent 2019 insurance survey available. If you want a well equipped 32' sailing cruiser, you'll be hard pushed to find a better one. Available to view by appointment at Birdham Pool Marina.
