         | Built by Northshore in 1987 (hull 70) she was epoxied from new and is a fine example of this comfortable well planned cruiser. The excellent accommodation provides up to 8 berths in 3 cabins with good headroom throughout. The internal steering position has many attractions in rough going although the large sprayhood does offer good shelter for a helmsman in the cockpit. Internally there is a spacious and airy galley area, cosy saloon with useful extension to the table making a great entertaining area, heads with shower and further heads area off the passageway to the aft cabin. The forward cabin has crossover berths to give full foot room. The boat has pressurised hot and cold water with a calorifier and immersion heater together with central heating. She has been well cared for and updated with the benefit of a bowthruster Principal Equipment:- Sailing: Rotastay Roller reefing Genoa Twin line reefing main with lazyjacks Cruising Chute Lewmar 43 two speed self tailing Genoa winches.
