Broker's Comments

The Seal 28 is a lifting keel cruiser with a separate aft cabin.

The accommodation sleeps 6 in three cabins. They are reputed to be capable, sturdy cruisers - able to cope well offshore in the right hands, as well as possessing a shallow draft to explore the creeks and backwaters.

This boat has been extensively updated with a very good level of inventory. It also has wheel steering, mainsail furling and much more - see full details in the sections above. The owner has spent a small fortune on navigation equipment!

From the owner, features:

Engine battery new in 2014
Brand new service battery just fitted
New water tank, 2011
Wheel steering professionally installed, 1998
Eberspacher main cabin heating
Flatscreen TV, aerial and booster
Sony surround sound, 2014
Extremely comprehensive electronics fit
Engine rebuilt 2001
