British Hunter Channel 31 for sale in Birdham United Kingdom

2001 British Hunter Channel 31, fractional Bermudan sloop rig with Yanmar 18hp inboard diesel engine. Morwenna III is in exceptional condition, owned and much loved by the current owners since new. Morwenna had her standing rigging renewed and the jib furling gear serviced by Z-Spars in 2016. Previously based in Holland, where she was laid up ashore in a frost free shed for 6 months every winter since her launch, she carried her owners safely on many enjoyable summer cruises to the UK, France and Belgium. Only for sale due to owners relocation to the UK, who will now restrict the distance of their sailing and require a boat with a shallower draft. Absolutely not to be missed, a sort hard to find.
