32 Foot Macwester Malin Ketch: A Good Example Of This Well Known Design

“Jaystar” is a 32 foot centre cockpit ketch which I have owned since 2014. Good overall condition with much money and time spent to improve and upgrade her to a ready to go, reliable, safe, cruising boat. Deep, safe cockpit and wheelhouse give great protection from the worst of our British weather. Two 500 NM cruises of IOM, Scotland and Northern Ireland completed in 2016 and 2017 confirmed her capabilities but now for sale as we want a larger boat. Specs. Keel: Bilge keels and skeg.
