There is a considerable amount of equipment stored on board, all of which is included in the sale of the yacht.
She was in tidy condition and much loved by her elderly owner until only 3 or 4 years ago. After his death she lay untouched and suffered slowly bu insiduously. She has now emerged from her period of hibernation and looking for a new owner to refit her. She does not appear to have any obvious deteriorated timber but there has been considerable drying which now necessitates extensive refastening, the deck must be resheathed and the whole boat repainted and varnished. This is a challenging but very satisfying job.
