The hull had Coppercoat antifouling when I bought it and the antifoul was renewed with Coppercoat in 2019. This form of antifouling leaves a hard surface which is great for someone wanting to trailer sail her and means that you only have to antifoul every 8 – 10 years.
The hull has been cleaned this month. It is all ready and equipped for the new season. It comes with:a relatively new set of sails which have only been used three times and a second spare set of good sails.mooring lines, fenders, inflatable dinghy with oars.In addition, I do have a suitable yard trailer which could be purchased separately. I am the second owner and I have owned it 9 years. The first owner bought it new in 2004 and I purchased it in 2013 in readiness for my retirement planned for 2014.
However, for various reasons my retirement had to be delayed and so I have had very few opportunities to sail her so has been relatively unused although well maintained. I am selling her now because unfortunately both my wife’s and my health have deteriorated recently. It is located near Southampton.
