Broker's Comments
This is a very interesting small yacht, in immaculate order, in full commission and sensibly equipped for coastal work. She was designed and built as a junk rig from the start, and this feature allows her to be single handed with ease and safety. Her highly experienced owner (ex Royal Navy, who skippered his own previous yacht through the French canals and spent three years cruising the Med in her ) would not readily change back to a more conventional rig. She is for sale as her owner wants to move back to a more "liveaboard sized" yacht - Junk rigged of course!
We consider that she represents an exceptional bargain at the asking price. Copies of the last survey and various instruction manuals-including full details of junk rig operation-are available to view at our office.
