Owners Coments:-

Extensive refurbishment done in 2018/19, a very spacious layout and great accommodation for a 28 ft boat. Suitable for extended cruises and a great family cruiser. Also easily sailed single handed.  Prepped, antifouled and ready to launch for the 2024 season

Sadly, after much time and money spent on improvement and maintenance since buying her in late 2018, I am putting this boat up for sale due to lack of time and crew for sailing her.
