DELTA 25 - FIN KEEL - 3/4 FRACTIONAL TALL RIG - ONE OWNER FROM NEW
I have owned this boat from new, my wife and I brought her over from Hunters yard ourselves and we have many memories of family days out and greatly enjoyed competitive successes around the lough. Wild Honey is well ballasted and comfortable to sail; she has extra lead in the keel and sports the tall racing rig. The cockpit is large enough to accommodate a crew of four and the deck is clean and well laid out with few tripping hazards making competitive crewing easy. If you don't want to race with a big crew she is also a gem to sail single handed winning the Pettigrew salver several times at East Down. Overall she is very forgiving and if you just want a leisurely day sail then there is no stress involved
It is rare that one of these nice cruiser/racer yachts come up for sale. This boat is ¾ fractional rig and has been meticulously looked after on deck and below. This is the fin keel version and gives her good sailing characteristics making her a great boat for family days out and competitive club racing. All winches run clockwise and a lines can be lead back to the cockpit. The engine has a few hours on it since servicing and runs smoothly. She comes with multiple warps and anchor so she is really ready to go with everything you need.
She has been wintered ashore and after antifouling will be ready for this season so before you know it you will be out on the water enjoying fair winds and blue skies.
This boat is "bone dry" no leaks.
Can be seen at East Down Yacht Club, Moymore, Killyleagh.
