Expression of interest to buy only or part exchange +cash for real offshore cruiser NZ SOUTH ISLAND built around 1990, customized Farr design with 2.8m fin keel from Franklin Boat yard. In wood epoxy (wood strip with 7 layers of glass) on laminated wood frame and steel structure, it has a ¾ sloop rig with running back stays ( 7 sails with spinnaker and a furling gennaker).
