REASONABLE OFFERS WILL BE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED.
Due to technical difficulties with the previous advert offers are now being considered.
This turnkey ketch-rig sailboat is currently on a berthing in Sovereign Harbour Eastbourne and the mooring is available with the boat (to be confirmed with the berth owner). The current owner is only the 3rd owner and the vessel has all the original bills of sale, original documents and has always been registered on Part 1 of the SSR, thereby showing a full proof of ownership from new.
The current owner sailed her solo last year (2025) from the USA and Caribbean trans-Atlantic to Eastbourne. She is fully equipped for a circumnavigation, however due to health concerns the owner can no longer pursue his plans to circumnavigate the world, however, she is ready to go on that voyage with only minor attention needed (details will be discussed with interested parties). She is a very rare find due to the extensive equipment already installed.
.
For anyone looking for a sailboat ready to take them to anywhere they desire, this vessel is a more than capable blue water cruiser just waiting to go. She is available to view by appointment only. I will make available the last survey and response to it but this will need to be done privately via email. I now have a video of a cold start of the engine that I took 27 May 2026. I can make that available via email.
