Broker's Comments
Butler’s only made around 10 triple keel Achilles 9M boats, so this is something of a rarity. The triple keel design, provides both the ability to dry out and achieve good upwind and general sailing performance, making them a fast and capable cruiser.
The hull, deck and interior have been kept to the initial specification, and she still has the original crockery from 1980. Much loved by a highly competent and experienced yachtsman, she has been travelled extensively in the Irish Sea, Cornwall and Brittany since 2004 and continues to benifit from a keen level of maintenance.
Re-engined in 2013, she is ready to embarked on further adventures. An attractive, comfortable and rapid cruising boat, while the ability to dry out greatly increases the number of small harbours that can be visited.
The boat is currently on a drying mooring and can be viewed on hard standing or afloat with prior arrangement.
Please feel free to give me a call or send an email for further details or to book a viewing.
