Florence

SOLD

Florence has been the subject of an
extensive refit/refurbishment over the last two years and is relatively a new boat, bar the hull.......This boat is in want of nothing you could launch her tomorrow and go off sailing safe in the knowledge that everything has been renewed and replaced to a very high standard ..... Florence has literally been spoilt with no expense spared with thousands spent on her .... There is an up to date survey carried out 17/06/2025 which I'm happy to send via email to anyone who would like to view .....I have lots more photos available which are two large to upload if you'd like them sent via email..... There's a mooring available for her to go on if need be
