OWNERS COMMENTS
“Dipper” was purchased by her current owner in 2006 and a survey was carried out at that time. She was fitted out by her first owners to the highest standards, all lines led aft for easy sailing and having the added benefit of a self tacking jib. Regretfully, her owner has not been able to sail her over the past 2 seasons and she has remained afloat. She'll need to come ashore for antifouling and anodes, an engine service and perhaps time for new standing rigging hence the attractive price.
