Description

Well loved, fun sailing cruiser, built 1973 (solid GRP construction) reluctantly for sale due to emigration. Great family boat especially for family with young children due to very deep and well protected cockpit aft. Dry comfortable cruising, familiar feature in Cork Harbour, and along the South Coast to Schull. Many features upgraded recently, including standing rigging, running rigging, jib-furler, up-mast electrics plus house and starter batteries. Comes with Garmin electronic chart plotter and integrated sounder, Marine VHF radio plus additional hand held radio, 2.4m inflatable with 2.3hp Honda 4-stroke air-cooled outboard. Sails included are main, 115% Genoa and small (rarely used) spinnaker. Engine is 18hp Volvo-Penta (easily maintained). Priced for quick sale due to emigration (ono for reasonable offers considered) VAT paid, this boat is ready for sailing this season (all pre-season anti-fouling applied, engine servicing complete), and suitable for lots of tinkering or pottering onboard to truly make her your own. This boat has been lifted out every winter and comes with own frame / stand for winter/shore storage.

Construction

GRP hull. As with many boats of this vintage, the hull is much thicker and stronger than modern production boats as GRP was a 'new-technology' back then, offering the owners a solid level of comfort and confidence.
