Broker's Comments

Sadly back on the market due to the owner having suddenly passed away, this Macwester 26 Bilge Keel sailing boat is a solid boat with everything needed to go to sea.

There is light DIY restoration to be done and the systems and engine have not been tested (although I powered her up when listing and all worked fine).

As a bilge keel boat this is ideal for estuaries as well as open water, she is spacious and well laid out.

Most of the work required is focused around the woodwork and a good clean.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
