Swift 18 Trailer Sailer Yacht - Great Condition With Newly Refurbished Trailer

Swift 18 Trailer Sailer in good condition This plucky 18 foot sailing yacht has been on many family adventures over the last few years. I have sailed her on the Norfolk Broads and last year for several weeks in Falmouth sound to mention a couple of notable trips. She is a 'pocket cruiser' and has everything you would expect to find on a much bigger yacht. My family and I have stayed on her for long weekends away and she behaves very well at anchor, the berths are comfortable and the cabin cozy. With a lifting keel and rudder she can creep up into shallow waters.
She is sitting on the driveway on a newly refurbished trailer in Northamptonshire and ready for the next adventure.
