Broker's Comments
A really nice example of this popular Swift 18 lift keel trailer sailor (1/4 tonner).
The current owner purchased her 3 years ago and has sailed her a number of times.
The yacht comes with additional equipment to make her 'complete', these include VHF radio, Stereo, Solar Extractor fan and depth gauge.
inside and out she is appears to be in good condition, very clean, and there is lots of evidence to suggest she has been well maintained.
Of particular note:
- The sails were laundered by ADM sails and new UV strips fitted.
- The yacht is 'self draining' and so no need for a bilge pump
- The yacht comes with all the manuals
She was last out of the water January 2022 and antifouled.
