This yacht has everything that you need to sail anywhere single-handed and is a joy to sail.  A solid, responsive boat with lots of life left in her.  I am only selling because I want to upgrade to a larger boat. Silkie has a full port side galley now, with removable saloon table and navigation table and a double berth in the saloon.  Silkie has an incredible amount of storage space for a boat her size.  The 18hp diesel Volvo Penta engine had new injectors fitted a couple of years ago and has never let me down.  renewed upholstery through out plus seat cushions. I have spent over £18,000 on her to make her a cracking boat to buy.  I  would consider part exchange on a larger sail boat between 32 – 36ft. Please telephone or email if you require any additional information and open to serious offers.
