PERSONAL INJURY AND FAMILY ILLNESS FORCES URGENT RELUCTANT SALE.
I have had to return to UK,
- ELUSIVE IS IN SOUTH SYDNEY, Inspection possible via key held at the Marina she's moored on a swing mooring off
-This boat is Structurally 100% solid.
- FULL SET OF SAILS - Photos of sails have been added below, all are in good condition, all are stored in the front V cabin bow locker and under the double 'V' bed area. Current mainsail needs approx 1 metre at the top repairing.
300a/h new batteries on 2x solar panels
This is a rare opportunity to own one of only a handful of these boats, the build quality, and 'bones' of this boat, are second to none.
