Broker's Comments

Boatshed Lancashire offer this Contest 29 of 1968 vintage, 2 owners from new with full history but unfortunately she has been left for a couple of years. Very dry inside, topsides in good order just needs a good polish unable to warrant the engine, it turns over but we have not tried to start. A comprehensive sail wardrobe is included she just needs a new owner to return her to her former glory. Owner is keen to sell so will welcome offers.
