Welcome to the auction of  RHIANNA GRACE a 31ft Tornado sloop belonging to a friend of mine. He purchased her just over 12 months ago and sailed her down from the East Coast to a marina in Jersey. The boat was built in the 1972 in Spain by boat builder Playvisa Coronado .  During her life she has been systematically restored and improved in most areas. The current owner along with his son is a bit of a fanatic and planned to use the boat down in Jersey for many years. This of course meant that a fortune has been spent on her to bring her up to his and, as any boat owner knows, his wife's exacting standards.The yacht is currently on a rare and usually unavailable marina berth in Jersey. This can be made available to any new owner if required, subject to marina regulations.  It could also be delivered to Plymouth around the end of June. Viewings can be arranged if required to seriously interested parties.The boat is currently insured for £16500.00, but due to the purchase of a new boat the owner needs a quick sale and is prepared to take a chance of advertising it with NO RESERVE. On sale from the first bid.Below are specifications, together with the recent purchases. This really would make a ideal first boat for any one on tight budget, yet wants a lot of boat for their money. The boat is a 1972 Tornado 31 with fin keel and masthead sloopOverall Length 31' 6'Waterline 23' 2'Beam 10' 1'Displacement 7496lbsBallast 3307lbsSSI No 388564EngineEngine is a Volvo Penta 18HP 2002 which will give a cruising speed of 5 knotsNew Hi output marine alternator 2015New leisure and starting batteries 2015Tanks

Whilst she is an older boat , any new owner would be very pleased to own her. She sails well and is a very dry boat. She is very beamy for a boat of this size and as such is very roomy below decks. Over £4000 has been spent on this boat in the last 12 months a lone. A 2013 survey is available to the new owner and this speaks quite favorably about her.Someone will get a real bargain here. The owner has a massive file on her and lots more pictures. There may be a liferaft available to buy separately if required. Remember though please you are bidding to buy . This boat is on sale from the first bid. The sale may end early if sold beforehand as the boat is advertised elsewhere.Please direct your questions by phone directly to the owner Vaughn who can be contacted on 07711624414
