Description

Townson 32 Pott Black Looking for an immaculate family cruiser, with nothing to do and ready to take off cruising this Xmas? Take a look at this Townson 32 Twilight. Beautifully built by master boatbuilder Keith Atkinson in 1976, Pott Black has safely sailed the Hauraki Gulf ever since. Twilight’s are the third generation of the Townson 32 design by Des Townson, and are renowned for their safe, predicable handling, and fantastic upwind performance. Twilight’s are brilliant cruising yachts for the Hauraki Gulf, and are designed to cope with that short, steep chop, which many yachts struggle with. We purchased Pott Black 11 years ago. As experienced sailors with extensive engineering and boatbuilding experience, we have kept Pott Black’s maintenance up-to-date, and she is ready to go. Pott Black has all the usual cruising gear including full set of sails, diesel engine, good tankage, holding tank, anchors, warps, cutlery, electric fridge, solar panel and spares. The cabin features a full 1.8m headroom, LED lighting and the squabs are in excellent condition. Westhaven marina berth available. Inventory list and other documentation available to those genuinely interested. Please call me on the number listed to arrange.
