Description

Quite possibly the best Snapdragon around, a bold statement that we feel is well justified after a pleasant morning spent aboard, anyone that has sailed or even stepped aboard a Snapdragon will know and love the characteristics of their build that make them a superb east coast cruiser for sailors with a desire for strong build quality and resilience, despite these attribute's nobody can argue that Snapdragons offer peak sailing and unrivalled comfort down below, but that is where Dancing Bear is different, this Snapdragon 890 has been lovingly owned and not just maintained but improved by her owner of 20 + years, the rig has been adjusted to reduce the famous Snapdragon weather helm and as such Dancing Bear is a pleasure to sail, the saloon has been adjusted to offer maximum comfort and looks stylish and up to date as a result, the improvements can’t all be listed and this must be seen to be appreciated, this is not just any Snapdragon, currently lying in Woolverstone, Suffolk to arrange a viewing please contact info@deanandholland.com or 01702 599018.
