Gems like this don't come onto the market very often, especially in as good condition as this one, we just had to take the opportunity to list her. Well maintained John Lidgard designed sloop. Professionally built, glassed over, triple skin diagonal kauri and kahikatea hull. Matai ribs. 11m waterline 12m overall. Strongly built seaworthy and forgiving boat with good sailing characteristics. Sleeps six at a pinch. Caring owners sailing days are over the horizon and they’re “swallowing the anchor” to move on to their next phase.
