Broker's Comments
This Twister 28 is classic, deep keeled, easily sailed short-handed, safe cruising yacht. Encapsulated lead ballast. Cosy interior and cockpit in teak. She has been well loved, maintained, and uprated by her 2 owners.
There has been such an extensive list of maintenance , replacements and enhancements over the years , it is difficult to know where to start, suffice to say the current owner has spent in the region of £17000 (not including berthing etc..) in the 10 years of their ownership. I understand the previous owner was also in the same mould.
If I were looking for a comfortable boat with all the whistles and bells, fully kitted out, I think you would have to go a long way to beat this one.
The list is endless as you will see, including not least, a new engine 2008, new wind vane, and Standing rigging 2012 .
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
