Broker's Comments
This vessel, launched in 1988 has only had two owners and has been looked after by the same yard since new.
She gives an immediate feeling of strength and solidity and should be well suited to offshore / coastal cruising or life on perhaps the French canals.
A little attention to an up to date décor would transform her interior into a comfortable and spacious living accommodation.
