Built by Gilbert Marine in 1987 to a design by Jacques Faroux, this capable fin keel cruiser offers solid performance and comfortable accommodation for up to six. Powered by a Volvo Penta 2002 18hp diesel engine with shaft drive, she is well suited to coastal cruising and extended trips alike. Her sail inventory includes mainsail, genoa, spinnaker and storm jib, set on aluminium spars with a Facnor furling system for straightforward handling. Recent upgrades include a Garmin Echomap 70s chartplotter (NEW 2023), Lewmar electric windlass (NEW 2023) and new service and engine battery (NEW 2025/26), supported by solar charging, shorepower and inverter. Below decks, she features a double V-berth forward, spacious saloon with drop-leaf table, L-shaped galley with oven and grill, separate heads, chart table and aft double cabin (currently used for storage).
A well-equipped and practical cruising yacht offering excellent value and strong potential for the coming season.
