'Minerva'.  Bilge keeled Hurley Silhouette Mk IV, ready to sail away.  Probably one of the best Silhouettes on the water.  Fully restored two years ago; she literally shines.A tough little sea boat that will turn heads wherever she sails.  Perfect as a first boat or for someone wishing to downsize.  Lying near Emsworth.  Yard fees paid up until 6th April.  It may be possible to negotiate a place in the yard, otherwise transport to her new moorings will need to be arranged for a mutually convenient time between the new owner and the boatyard.NB: Trailer not included.  Hard dinghy, oars and trolley are included.  Cash or bank transfer preferred.
