This 1980 One-Off design, from Norwegian yacht designer Eivind Amble is a double ended ketch and is in superb condition. At present she is set up as a sloop for more flexibility. In the 90's "Golden Apple" completed a 21 month "Round the World" voyage. She has had a number of refits and has been continually updated every year. Her list of upgrades is endless i.e. 2009 Perkins 185HP engine, hydraulic winches, bow thruster, generator, water maker, heating and much more. This is an excellent opportunity to purchase a really special "Blue Water Cruiser". PART EXCHANGE CONSIDERED.
