Broker's Comments

The Snapdragon 29 is a sturdy bilge keeled family cruiser. This boat is a tidy example, the interior upholstery and fittings are all very good.
The sails are in good order and the in-mast furling means that all lines are led aft to the cockpit, for safe family or single handed sailing.
The hull has been copper coated below the waterline and she is in commission and ready for the new season.

Owners Comments:
"Much loved sailing boat, only selling as upgrading to newer, bigger boat (part ex considered). In recent years I've fitted Easyreef in mast furling system, had the hull sand blasted and copper coated, bought new sails, new rigging and new cushions. She has been professionally maintained for the last 10 years and will make an ideal first boat for someone! She is fuelled and ready to go!"

The owner is looking to purchase a larger yacht following the sale of this boat if you own a 34ft to 38ft Yacht and are looking to downsize then proposals will be considered.
