Broker's Comments

This Macwester Wight MK1 is being sold as a project and the boat really requires a re-fit. The engine runs fine but the owner is not aware of it ever being re-built.

The boat was last sailed in July 2024 and was out of the water and antifouled 2 years ago.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
