Kings Cruiser 29. 1974. “Littlewing”Owned by me since 2017. I have found her to be a tough, capable, and a surprisingly fast Yacht. She took me safely 1600nm around Britain in 2019 and handled all the sea conditions we met.Please see my blog of the trip for much information including pictures and videos.http://www.timsails.com.Designed by Tord Sunden the designer of the Folk Boat. 247 were produced at the Fiskers Yard in Finland.

2020.There are many other smaller items included, too numerous to mention.For more information and data on the Kings Cruiser 29, please follow this link.https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/kings-cruiser-29She has been ashore for 11 months. She needs the mast fitting (on racks ready to go) and she is ready for launch. The yard fees are paid up to 1st Nov 2020. I will help with the hand over. I would even be prepared to deliver her anywhere in the UK, by arrangement.
I have never seen any sign of any osmosis. Moorings are available in Chichester harbour. There will be minor jobs that might need doing, she would benefit from a deck scrub etc, the wash boards that were new in 2019 of varnished marine ply have started to peel, they could be painted or new ones made. Many of the fittings are original and these all function particularly well. The reason for the sale is to purchase a bigger Yacht.
I will answer any questions you have please make contact. Tel 0phone/0phone.We would consider a part exchange for a Classic car,or Maxi Scooter 400cc plus (Suzuki Burgman etc). Payment by arrangement. Thank you.
