She is equally suited to coastal exploration, family cruising and leisurely weekends afloat, offering a rare combination of character, capability and comfort.Her handsome classic lines are complemented by a spacious, thoughtfully designed cockpit, providing an excellent social space whether underway or at anchor. Below deck, the interior is warm, welcoming and beautifully finished, with quality joinery and a practical layout designed with comfortable cruising in mind.1780 Maria Theresa Thaler silver coin in the mast foot and bronze star on the bowsprit end for good luck and safe passages.Lying in Poole Harbour, she is available to view and and offers are invited.
