Description

Thalassa is ready to sail with anti-fouling already done, a great starter boat or upgrade from a day sailer, offering 4/5 berths in the saloon and forward cabin, full heads, wash basin compartment and capable galley.

She is in need of usual cleaning, polishing, and varnishing as carried out beginning of each season, but a weekend or two should see her ready to sail this season.

Dry land storage until launching which is included in the sale price, mooring tackle available for OYC members.

The Snapdragon 23 isn’t known for winning races but is a great comfort in a strong sea, and family yacht. Triple keel tends to sail better than the equivalent bilge keels, great boat for East Coast and beyond, you can explore the local creeks with only 2'6" draft and doesn't mind if you sit on the mud or sand waiting for the tide to float you off.

Viewing highly recommended.
