She has blemishes but overall they are few and minor in my view. There is a small compression dent in the port bow, difficult to see and was there when we bought her.

Viewing is welcome by appointment. As stated, a copy of the 2021 survey will be available to view on the boat. Please note she has restricted headroom in the aft cabin and heads. We are 5'10" and 6' tall respectively and it's never been a problem for us, but if you are taller this vessel might not work so well for you.

Happy to answer questions as best we can.
