The owner spent his early years in Zimbabwe before moving to the UK. When the time came to move up from his existing 26 footer he turned to Tony Turner in Zimbabwe to build an offshore cruising yacht that would be easily handled with a small crew. The owner has a photographic history of the build which should be seen.

Selling due to lack of time to sail as a result of other commitments, the owner is keen for another yachtsman to enjoy this quite special yacht.
