Mermaid of Portsea

£9,500 ono reduced and looking for a sale

Mermaid is in very original and very good overall condition but, as always, could use a little TLC in a few areas. I have really enjoyed sailing her each summer and cruising the south coast - and the glorious ScilIy Isles. I am reluctantly selling Mermaid because we need a bigger boat for our new family.

I live in the British Virgin Islands; my time zone is UTC - 5. A long-standing friend [Tom Napper] who knows the boat very well and lives near Falmouth can show you Mermaid. Please contact me first, by e-mail or phone [it's a US number], to arrange this.
