COMMENTS

​

This is a cruising boat which sails very well.  The mark II version benefits from the sugar scoop transom and forward facing chart table as upgrades from mark I.

​

We have owned this boat for 7 years and have continued to maintain and improve it.  We have found it to be well equipped for sea going, safety and comfort.  We have reluctantly decided to retire from sailing and sell the boat because a variety of circumstances mean we are not in a position to use it as much as we would like to.

​

An Avon Redstart Dinghy and Mariner 3.5hp outboard are available by separate negotiation.
