Broker's Comments

This is a nicely kept boat that the owner has owned in excess of 20 years. A good example of a Snapdragon these sailing boats were designed for families and are therefore built very well and give a pleasant sailing experience.

The boat is dry throughout and I didn’t spot anything that needed any big work, the interior is in a nice condition and boats a lot of room for a boat of her age and size.

Rigging seems be in good condition and does regular inspections however is now 20 years old.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
