This is an older hull with some very new parts, the biggest turn-off is the hull's gel coat which is cosmetically rough on the underside and a few superficial cracks but is otherwise sound. I have loads of photos meticulously documenting the whole boat: spars, foils, sails, rigging and hull. If you are interested please contact me and I will provide all the other photos.
I bought this in summer of 2020; I have throughly enjoyed sailing it and it has lived up to everything I wanted it to be: a fast, challenging single-hander. I haven't managed to sail it very much in the last year or 2 though, hence now selling it.

•Cost of buying same brand new parts today £4650, - ~£700 depreciation of mast = £3950
