ObservationsThe Stephen Jones designed Oyster SJ35 (Hustler) has excellent well mannered performance, ideal for a bit of club racing, with enough comfort below for a spot of leisurely (and fast!) cruising.
There are a lot of spares within the boat, too many to list, but there are 6 life-jackets and strops, a first aid kit, grab-bag, various spare blocks, winch handles, cutlery and plates to name a few.This is a project yacht which requires a lot of work, but the yacht must go, all offers considered. None of the items listed have been tested and no warranty is attached to this listing- sold as is/where is. I also have a few videos of the inside and deck available on request.
