Broker's Comments
The Horizon 23 is a popular bilge keeled cruising yacht from the board of David Thomas, who knew a thing or two about yacht design. Spacious and family friendly accommodation for a 23 footer that could also hold her own in club racing around the cans. Certainly no ocean grey hound, but a fun and easily handled coastal and cross channel yacht in the right sea conditions and with the right skipper.
A one year old main engine (with circa 10 hours only) and a fairly recent tender and 2.5 hp Mercury outboard form part of the deal. She has recently been lifted out for anti-fouling but will soon return to her berth and she remains in commission, hence all the owner's personal effects and rations are on board and in the photographs.
These boat details are subject to contract.
