Cruising Gear & Tying Up

There is a selection of cruising gear onboard, we advise buyers to check through at trial run and purchase any other equipment they may require.

Other

• Documentation – As this boat was built prior to the introduction of the Recreational Craft Directive, there is no RCD manual and no evidence of a Hull Identification No
• Bill of sale for current owner; this was a private sale and so is basic in its presentation. Seller has also presented us with documents from CRT naming him as the owner
• Electrical installations with older boats were satisfactory at the time of fitting but are often outdated and sometimes surveyors recommend upgrading to meet current requirements
• It is usual for boats of this age to have their outlets close to the waterline; it is possible a surveyor may recommend remedial action to raise these
