Brokers Comments:
‘In the many years we have been inspecting, valuing and selling yachts, we rarely see a yacht which has had this level of thought and craftsmanship poured into every aspect of the build and commissioning. Further, the fact that the owners were heavily involved right from the start and now continue to lavish such care and attention on their yacht is clearly evident in her current condition throughout. A better example of this type of ‘ready for anything / go-anywhere’ sailing vessel would be hard to find….’

Reason for Sale
Boat built to circumnavigate but health issues intervened, so settled for a less challenging life based in Greece, age also being a consideration

Owners' Background:
Both sailed from an early age.
Both : Regular sailing - UK, West Indies, Mediterranean, Indian Ocean. Kept a Fisher in West Scotland.

10 years RN, specialising in Diving, Bomb & Mine Disposal, with regular recreational sailing. Thereafter, from 1971, a career of project management in professional offshore diving, specialist work vessels and pioneering subsea activities.
