A full service history and a clear record of recent work, including rigging in 2018, batteries in 2024 and an engine service in 2026, give the next owner confidence in the vessel's major systems. The four-cabin layout offers good flexibility for a family or for guests. The forward owner's cabin is complemented by a second forward cabin with twin bunks and two spacious aft doubles. The saloon is light and well-organised, with a large dining table, and the twin-wheel cockpit keeps the helm positions clear and sociable. Shore power air conditioning adds comfort when berthed in warmer weather. With her title documents and EU VAT evidence seen, she is straightforward to manage and well suited to Mediterranean cruising. Early viewing is recommended.
