This vessel has a soul. An antique 50 year old steel hull fully restored in an immaculate and very recent refit. This boat has essentially been pulled apart to the hull and rebuilt with everything new except for some classic featured original parts that give the boat it’s charm.


Inside she boasts style, space, simplicity and a homely feel. Furnished with both practicality and sensitivity, this vessel has spaces that are warm and inviting where you want to spend time.

With only 180 hours on the brand new Yanmar engine and all new electrics, new main sheet, new dingy and new dingy engine and a fresh coat of pain, this boat is a comfortable, safe home waiting to discover the world with you aboard.

Currently located in the delightfully sunny Canaries, this vessel and her current owners plan to Cape Verde and eventually across the Atlantic. The vessel can be purchased at any point as the family aboard have a young baby (7 months) and have decided that they would prefer a Catamaran for the simple reason that it will be better for their baby to learn to walk. They will continue their travels on the vessel in the mean time until the right buyer comes along as they love the vessel and enjoy it’s comfort and seaworthiness.

The sale will be negotiated directly with the owners and details of their location and how the vessel could be brought to your desired location can be easily obtained by email enquiry. This said, for the eager buyer, this vessel is now perfectly located in the Mediterranean in a beautiful location ready for the coming summer season so if this sounds like you, don’t delay in sending an email now.

The vessel has an electric furling boom which rolls the main sail around the boom with the press of a button. This is an original feature of the vessel (except the electrics) and makes for easy reefing in heavy weather and seamless single handed sailing all around.
