Description
The yacht is a well maintained 29ft fin keel sailing cruiser, ideal for UK south coast sailing. The yacht has a Sport version interior which results in a slightly lighter displacement compared the more usual Sun Way 29. The yacht is perfect for a small family, a couple or even full crew of 6 for casual coastal cruiser racing. The current owner sails occasionally solo but more often double handed, or with three crew cruising, four or 5 for racing. The yacht is safe, surprisingly spacious with a well thought out interior with a double aft cabin and a separate good sized heads. Ready to sail away she is an easily manageable, low maintenance fast cruiser that offers opportunities for low annual berthing costs and easy for finding space the UK south coast summer crowded marinas.
The yacht has been set up by the current owner to be versatile. It is rewarding when sailed gently cruising, or on fast coastal passage making or when being pushed harder in club cruiser racing. The yacht will offer fun cruiser sailing for a couple with friends, small crew or solo. But easily she can change gear to a sporting mode for a buzz of excitement for a full crew. A very versatile yacht to own.
The yacht has been well maintained with major items having been replaced or refurbished to keep the yacht in good condition and to improve the sailing experience when sailed. The yacht benefits from completion of a very recent satisfactory outcome from a 10 year insurance survey and a recent rigging survey.
Price: £25,000.
