Owner retiring from sailing and open to offers. Boat OverviewThis is an extremely pretty example of a classic cruiser/racer from the boards of the renown New Zealand designer Ron Holland. Built by Camper and Nicholson, she is hull number sixteen of a total of twenty five built. Although well thought of and fast vessels, the class was discontinued after a change in the International Offshore Racing rules rendered them uncompetitive. That was racing's loss as these vessels proved to be excellent blue water fast cruising vessels.Construction and PerformanceVery strongly built, three of the class were entered into the 1979 Fastnet race and all three survived unscathed despite being knocked down.Interior SpecificationsPoppy is deceptively spacious with over 6'06" headroom on the centreline in the saloon and generally over 6' in the remainder of the saloon. She has a large double quarter berth, a forward vee berth cabin plus extra berths in the saloon. Originally fitted with two pilot berths, the starboard berth has now been rebuilt with lockers. Otherwise, the accommodation is much the same as when the vessel left the factory apart from usage and the passage of time.Navigation AidsHer navigation aids consist of:Nasa Target Navtex ProGarmin Fishfinder 100MLR FX312 GPSRaytheon R10X RadarIcom DSC VHF base unitExhaust temperature alarmA Battery monitorWebasto 8Kw diesel heaterSailsSails are all useable and consist of a:GenoaTwo mainsailsSpinnakerCruising chuteConclusionThis is a well proven vessel with, like her sister vessels, an excellent track record backed up by Camper and Nicholson's experience and quality of work.
