Description

Very nice example of this classic David Sadler-designed yacht. Extremely well cared for Sadler 26 from 1986, with recent Beta 16 engine replacement and fully updated electronics including Garmin Echomap 75 chart plotter and Garmin AIS. This is the fin keel version (draft 1.42m) with great sailing and sea keeping ability. She has been cruised extensively on the south and west coasts of Ireland and never given a moments concern, even in testing conditions. Superb boat for couple or small family. Easily sailed short or singlehanded. Freshly antifouled and ready to sail away.

Custom built galvanised trailer not included in sale but can be negotiated separately.
