Classic Folkdancer 27 built by Russel Marine Ltd in 1965 as a long keel cruising yacht - with 2018 Beta 20hp diesel inboard - costing over £6,000! Ada Lilly has exceptional sailing and sea kindly qualities. Notably she is also completely self righting in the event of a knock down, due to the encapsulated iron ballast in the moulded long keel (1,270kgs). She was subject to a major refurbishment around 2016. An inexpensive way to go offshore sailing with a great, safe, yacht.
