Whirlaway

GBP 19,800

Whirlaway is an all-GRP Twister that I purchased in 2000 and have lovingly maintained and improved over the past 26 years.
Together, we have sailed extensively around the Mediterranean, initially single and double-handed and later with an extra crew member when our daughter came along — almost born on board!
Now, as we prepare to move on to a larger boat, we are looking for someone who will appreciate Whirlaway as much as we do, take good care of her, and continue her sailing adventures.
She has been much more than just a boat to us, and we hope her next owner will enjoy making memories with her just as we have.
