Owners comments
Andante was purchased by present owners in 2001 from the previous owner/builder. She was then extensively equipped for independent inshore and offshore cruising. She is now a very comfortable, capable, and seaworthy vessel.
She has been regularly used and well maintained by the present owner, a retired naval officer, for over 20 years. She has been taken regularly to France, the Isles of Scilly, the Channel Islands, London, the Welsh Coast, and most ports and harbours in between.
This sale is reluctant prompted only by poor health.
