These boats are extremely tough and well built. Both decks and hull Airex cored double laminate makes a strong hull, also quiet and well insulated. Hull and the characteritic whale deck are glassed together from the yard, thus no leaks whatsoever. Epoxy coated bottom and 3 coats of heavy duty bottom paint last year that will keep her protected from growth at least 3 years more. In 2009 at the refit all hull and deck sections were found to show no signs of moisture when gauged. Dry as a bone!

This is a boat somewhat in the same style as Colin Archer, Ingrid, and Tayana just to mention a few. More modern lines makes her a faster boat though. In the 60ies they won qute a few off-shore races in Scandinavia and her 'mother' 'Casella' built in wood, made it very well in the Transatlantic Race 1960 which became the road to legendary status for the Laurin designed koster boats. The race was very tough with several bad storms and 'Casella' was the smallest boat in the race and finshed 4th with her swedish crew of 5 amateurs.

PIctures and full equipment list upon e-mail request.

The boat is presently at anchor in Ria Guadiana on the Algarve coast in Portugal, close to the Faro int'l airport. A very nice all year cruising area within a week from the Canaries or the Med.

Since I've bought a new, one size bigger, boat in the same style, she's now for sale for Euro 38 000

ok

Yeah I understand. Not always easy to get what she should be worth during other circumstances but the most important is of course that you got her sold.
