Speedwell

£7,995.00

During my ownership Speedwell has been consistently maintained to a high standard, with a focus on mast, rigging, engine, sails, steering and the electrical system. Speedwell is a pleasure to sail and is being actively sailed at the time of this advert going live. I am retiring from sailing and have priced competitively for the current market.

After the 2022 round Britain, I laid Speedwell up for the winter and then launched in the spring 2023 and sailed mainly locally on the River Medway.
I then laid Speedwell up ashore Oct 2023 while I was abroad and launched on my return in 2025. I have been sailing her since then.

Note that I have removed the wind generator.
