Description
This Hunter Delta 25 for sale is a compact and capable British cruising yacht, offering practical accommodation and straightforward handling in a manageable package. Solstice has benefited from a significant programme of recent maintenance, including new standing and running rigging in 2024, a new Tohatsu 6hp outboard in 2024, new Raymarine autopilot and extensive work to the hull and keel. The keel was sandblasted back to the steel in March 2024, before being epoxy sealed, faired and antifouled, while the hull was professionally prepared and resprayed above the waterline in 2025. She has been based at Fox’s Marina in Ipswich for the past two years and has primarily been cruised on the River Orwell. The boat is offered with a useful sail wardrobe and a good level of recent maintenance.
