Broker's Comments

There is lots to like about this Macwester 32. Great accommodation over two cabins with an additional single berth midships, lots of inventory including a dinghy and outboard; well maintained with lots and lots of paperwork to support the work that has gone into her. Now being offered for sale by the beneficiaries of the late owner. This is an opportunity to buy a sea-kindly vessel that offers the benefits of both a bilge keel, a long keel and wheel steering.

Much of the prep work has been done by the yard in readiness for going back in the water and a survey was completed in April 2022, with all advisories taken care of. Sails have not been inspected but are available to view (there were many folded up and stored in various lockers).

Not one to be missed!
