Broker's Comments

This boat brings back memories of my youth as I was lucky enough to have crewed on one in my early teens. The Twister 28 is much admired by traditional sailors who appreciate her sea keeping qualities, added to that she is a good looking yacht. This one has been well looked after and maintained by her experienced owner.
The accommodation comprises of 2 cabins. Forward there are 2 single berths with the heads to port and a hanging locker opposite. The main saloon has 2 settee berths, a chart table and the galley is opposite.
She is a delightful boat to sail being easy to handle and very rewarding to helm. If you are in the market for a classic sailing vessel book yourself an appointment to view.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
