Broker Remarks
The vessel successfully sailed from North Wales to the Spanish mainland and out to the Azores in the summer of 2000. She covered the 3500 nautical miles in 22 days at sea. Proving herself to be a comfortable live-aboard, and a strong safe boat in bad weather. The hull being of Norweigan design. The owner is a well-qualified shipwright and undertook the building project to fulfill his own sailing plans but also as a living example of his shipwright skills which proved to be in great demand. Consequently, the fitting out of his own yacht has not yet been completed but it is nevertheless well advanced and, from a sailing point of view, she is in full commission. The owners now offer the vessel for sale either as it is or, subject to agreement with the purchaser, would be prepared to undertake completion of the fitting out project to the new owner's requirements subject to agreed materials and cost. All work carried out has clearly been to a very good standard and a purchaser may welcome the opportunity to have work completed to the same standard and style.
