Broker's Comments

It's not every 28ft yacht that comes with its own history book, Kipper Tales, nor can boast the fact that she has been home to two adventurers for nearly two decades whilst cruising to and from the Med (from the uk) on no less than five occasions!
After those documented adventures (a copy of Kipper Tales is included in the purchase price!) she was acquired in 2011 by a retired professional boat fitter who carried out a thorough overhaul during 2012, replacing many items. The list is too long to include here but forms part of the ships papers.
Kipper is a substantial craft, is well found and capable of extensive cruising and many more adventures I'm sure. She is on the market at a realistic asking price for a swift sale as her current owner is 'of a certain age' and tide and time wait for no man. She is currently ashore in our yard at Neyland, Pembrokeshire and was photographed on the water last week and ashore today 3/10/2016.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

Where the particulars herein give details of a boat, whether new or used, they are intended to give a fair description of the vessel but are not guaranteed as accurate or complete. They shall not form part of any offer or contract for the sale of the vessel. The prospective purchaser is recommended to independently check the particulars and the vessel. The vendor is not selling in the course of a business unless otherwise stated.

Personal property may be equipment or gear not permanently attached to the vessel including but not limited to: artwork, entertainment equipment, fishing equipment, TV receivers, recreational equipment, kayaks, tools, and personal appliances. Photos that may incidentally depict owners' personal property do not convey that such items are included in the sale of the vessel unless such items are specifically listed herein.
