Being one of the last Twister's to be built she is entirely GRP including the coach roof, which is GRP bonded to the decks - so no leaks. Encapsulated long keel, hull below waterline epoxied from new.
Twisters sail beautifully and are sought after all weather fast cruisers. DOLPHIN is ready to sail away.
