Broker's Comments

*** New batteries! ***

This 1978 Moody Nova 27 is a genuine character - she prefers to sail upright (aka prefers to sail stiff) and is controlled from the cockpit.

She has a long fin keel, tiller steering and shaft drive, with a sloop rig with slab and roller mainsail reefing and roller head furling, sails by Arun (2005) - good headroom.

Her last survey was 2010. She is constantly used to sail locally. She needs a few updates, this is reflected in the asking price.

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