A fast, comfortable cruiser/racer with a proven pedigree, offered by an owner who has enjoyed her purely as a cruising yacht — not raced during his ownership.
Built in 1990, she offers an 8-berth, 3-cabin layout with all the amenities you need for extended cruising or family holidays afloat.
She’s been consistently and thoroughly maintained and upgraded over the years, with a new mast, rigging and mainsail in 2014, a new Kubota engine in 2017, and new keel bolts fitted in 2018 and again this July.
Recent work also includes a new rudder with bearings, a new manual toilet, serviced central heating, and new batteries — all completed in 2024 and 2026.
Below decks, she benefits from a calorifier with immersion heater plus Eberspaecher diesel warm air heating running to the main saloon, aft cabins and toilet, keeping her warm and dry whatever the Scottish weather throws at her.
She’s just been lifted out, scrubbed and antifouled, and is ready to sail away.
Marina fees at Campbeltown are paid for the season and will be transferred to the new owner.
