Lovely bilge-keeled corribee in working order and ready to sail with full set of sails. The paintwork below the waterline has been completely stripped, re-primed and antifouled. Can sleep 4. Comes with depth sounder, log, Silva S10 DSC radio and Garmin 126/128GPS. Sails beautifully and is very sturdy. Can easily be sailed single-handed. Comes with a purpose built, hardly used, 4 wheeled braked trailer. Currently on the Isle of Wight but could be happy discussing delivery to the mainland.This is a great sailing boat, only selling because I’ve moved too far from the sea to be able to use any more.Trailer Purpose built 4-wheeled braked trailer Only used four times since specially made and never submerged (boat always lifted out and placed on the trailer)Sails main Jib Genoa Storm Sail bags
