Broker's Comments
The well known Achilles brand means a reputation for toughness and sea keeping values
Many retrofits and upgrades mean this home finished craft is very well equipped and with a relatively recent new engine and a good suit of sails she is ready to use for the season right now.
These may not be the fastest boats on the water however they are very capable and will look after you when it's needed. Uprated to in mast furling she is easily sailed single or short handed.
