One or two concessions to make cruising more comfortable.Solar panel fitted to hatch cover.
Hull is fair and appears completely sound , needs cleaning polishing etc
Couple of modern instruments properly fitted seem good to go. This boat was in full sailing mode at the end of last season so it’s pretty nearly “ ready to go”.
Long shaft Tohatsu outboard which has to be considered nearly new. This engine has only logged 7 hours total running and requires to be serviced by a Tohatsu agent by 16 hours in order to maintain warranty conditions. Cost today nearly £1500!
All serviceable. Mainsail is past its best for competitive racing ,now a cruising or training sail only. If serious competitions are envisaged a new main would be advisable. Spars appear all fit for purpose numerous new fittings eg shrouds deck fittings look new.
No comment since I have no knowledge in this regard.
