Broker's Comments

A rugged classic family cruiser from the 1970's in need of TLC!

Macwesters always had the reputation of being built like 'brick outhouses' although with a better sailing performance than the aforementioned. This example is complete with everything needed for coastal sailing and we are told that it all works, however, a new owner must be prepared for a spot of sleeves rolled up tinkering and would no doubt wish to add some new gear. In view of her being in need of some care and attention cosmetically she is offered for sale at a bargain price and all proceeds will go to Sail4Cancer Charity.
