I have a very large folder of documentation including her VAT paid receipt. I have maintained her regardless of cost and she has a lot of additional electrics and electronics added by me amongst other refinements. It all works too!  We have often had 6 adults and 4 children on board which is cosy but quite easily achievable. She is CE certified for 7 adults and has an RCD C rating.She is exceptionally nice to pilot with superb handling and she turns on a sixpence, even at very high speed.  I have been across the channel, to Falmouth (in three legs via Weymouth and Dartmouth and have cruised extensively from Chichester to Weymouth.She has never let us down and has got us home in very heavy weather (f7 and 3m swell).  She is very comfortable In a big sea with a very deep vee hull and keeps dry when other bigger boats are struggling.  She is a great boat and we have very much loved her. She has everything you need for great weekends away and is ready to go for the summer!  She will put a big grin on her new owner's face! I wouldn't dream of selling her had we not acquired a project boat. Any questions, please ask. Sorry, but I won't accept bank drafts or promises to wire money from anybody that has not come down to look at her at the very least and that I have met.  There are too many crooks with dodgy bank drafts and dodgy promises these days!
