Sailing Yacht Cobra 850

If you enjoy coastal sailing at weekends and occasional short holidays throughout the season then this Cobra 850 could be the sailboat for you. She benefits from a full renovation and is ready to sail away. Many of the features are what you would expect in a higher end modern cruiser. The boat is clean and comfortable both above and below deck. She sails well and is easy to handle single handed.
