Broker Remarks

Super example of a quality cruising boat with inboard diesel and lifting centre plate keel. 
Polly Garter has a British racing green deck with a traditional white and mahogany interior - a very characterful boat with an interesting history, she has travelled from east to west around England and wales often mistaken for a fishing boat by the large letters on her bow. She is very well equipped and seaworthy with her much-admired genuine crabber look.

Owners Comments:
Desperate to get back on the water with our RM 890 (PBO august 2016) locked down in France, we bought Polly garter on a whim without even seeing her! no regrets though but now we must move on. we've had a great time in and out of the Solent and Chichester ports. she's been turning heads in smart marinas, anchored off beaches, and dried out at Bosham quay. the boat with her uniquely appealing look has led to many ad hoc dockside conversations and questions about her origin. as with all loved boats Polly's had continuous attention - re-conditioned centreplate with new stainless pin, electronics upgrades, and a mast winch to tension the flying jib. Polly garter is surprisingly maneuverable for her type - particularly going astern... she's been kept on the Portsmouth sailing club pontoon always reversing in between the large IOW ferries and the BAR Americas cup center.
