Broker's Comments

The Achilles 840 was conceived as a fast cruiser to build on the reputation of the previous well thought of offerings from Lee and Butler. It is a fast and well mannered design with a relatively narrow beam and long waterline. This particular yacht was in the middle of a comprehensive owner re-fit when her owner was tragically stricken by a major illness. Because of this there is still some work to do and our list of inventory items is less than comprehensive. She is available 'as is where is' and her low asking price reflects this fact.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

This Achilles 840 has been personally photographed and viewed by Alan of Boatshed Wales. Click here for contact details.
