i bought Molly in 2022, i believe as her 3rd owner and will be sad to see her go. each year we have crossed the irish sea and cruised up to the far northwest of scotland. she is an excellent, reliable and forgiving boat that has looked after us as novices. the only reason we are selling her is to move onto a bigger boat more suited to our needs.
1990 bilge keeled transom hung rudder yacht. benefits from Selden full batten mast system for stress free hauling up/down of mainsail; all lines lead back to cockpit, ideal for short handed/ solo sailing.
the autohelm 2000 tiller pilot has coped admirably in wind upto f5 or 6, holding the boats course with ease, combined with the Autohelm AT50 compass and speed head unit, allowing for clear navigation.
previous owners have had locker doors professionally fitted to the original main cabin shelving, allowing better use and storage.
original vovlo md2002 engine starts reliably, has been serviced prior to start of each season.
