Description

This distinctive Robert Tucker-designed cruising yacht, built in 1983, offers character, versatility and an impressive inventory at an attractive price. Her triple-keel configuration and shallow 1 metre draught are ideal for exploring creeks, rivers and sheltered anchorages that deeper-draught yachts cannot easily reach. A dependable 40 hp Mercedes diesel with only approximately 500 hours, together with bow thrusters, makes close-quarters handling reassuringly easy.
