Broker's Comments

Boatshed Plymouth are pleased to list this Swedish built Maxi 68.

With an overall length of only 22ft she is cheap to moor, but you get a proper little seaworthy yacht. There is good space below with 4 berths in 2 cabins which is more than adequate for weekend coastal cruising. The deep cockpit and raised coach roof give more protection than other boats in this class.

The current owner of this Maxi has spent money on all the right areas from a new engine and sails, to installing navigation lights and new windows. Although the interior could do with the headlining tidying up, she is clean and ready to go with all you need to get out on the water.

We really like this pocket sized yacht and she is worth a look.
