Boat descriptionShe's a quick boat, sails well in light winds and points upwind very close to the wind. A big rig for her size. Full masthead rig with La Genoa 1 and generous sized Main. 95 SQ Metre cruising chute with snuffer Brand new. SeaGo 4 Man Life Raft Jonbouy Man over board recovery system. Jackstays & Clip on leads & cockpit clip on points Raymarine Chartplotter/MFD above Helm Wheel and can be mounted at the chart table Raymarine EV1 motor driven Autopilot with P70s Head Brand new Garmin Wind sensor and GNX instrument display & through hull Airmar Smart Triducer for depth, and water speed, pitch, roll &leeway angle.

All passages are planned, plotted and logged on paper charts and log books. Then the routes and waypoints are entered into the Navigational equipment and as the skipper and navigator, this is periodically checked and cross referenced. If the boat ever lost power, I could fix our position and navigate using the Ship's Compass and a hand bearing compass and the chart. I have 2 hand held battery powered VHF radios as backups. The 2 & 3 year old sails have just been valeted, serviced and treated. I am also replacing all the running rigging that is in constant use under sail. Brand new 4/5 man Tender with fully reconditioned 6HP outboard engine. Large refrigerator, microwave, stereo, 12 volt TV. 300ah LifePO4 Smart Battery for all boat systems. Engine starter battery Windlass battery Solar Panels and AC Inverter. All Victron equipment for handling mains charging & Solar power management. The yacht is now in North East Sardinea after 2500 Miles of sailing from Plymouth UK and then through the Balierics from Menorca to Sardinia. The yacht is anchored in a charming little protected bay 20K from Olbia which has an International airport where budget airlines fly to.

Competent and safe skipper. Well kept yacht.

Went on a lovley and lively day sail on the solent with Richy.I find him to be a competent skipper with attention to safety and knows his boat well. he is also quite a tidy skipper (to my liking) and always keeps the cockpit clutter free. The boat sails well and has all the safety equipment. It is very well maintained and looked after, really clean on the inside too. I would recommend sailing with him, and look forward to do so myself.
