Questions & Answers
Good luck with the sale. I have owned many boats over the years, but SeaDragon is by far my favourite. I’m pleased to see her in such great condition. Great blue water boat cruising13 (33 • 7:42 pm, Mon, 23 Feb )Thanks very much for the comment! I'll be very sad to see her go, she's an absolute dream. I know she will be my favourite too, there's just something about her. My wife cried when she saw the listing this morning and I understand why! If you find yourself near Pine Harbour and fancy a sail, sing out! balloy (74 • Monday, 23 February 2026 )
