I have the sister yacht to this, but in the
bilge keel configuration.
Things you should know about this as advertised:
Motor is too small - many boro owners complain about the
perkins being underpowered for the size of the vessel -you will notice this.
8000 kg seems too light, my is "apparently" 14000, with full
tanks, never actually measured.
They are a good roomy
boat - I have lived aboard mine and there is tonnes of space.
Singlehanded would be OK with
self tailing winches and good setup. I sail mine with partner.
Often homebuilt, strength and quality depends on who built. Check for deformation of the stringers around the
keel. How is your keel attached. Is the keel openable for a look inside at what ballast is in there?
I would have this boat for the
price, mine cost 3 times as much.
I fit a dive
compressor, genset and dive
gear for 3 in the lazareete comfortably. 5 divers would be a squeeze for an extended trip.
