Viveza

£15,000 but open to offers

Viveza is for sale because I want to spend more time with my Wife and dog. I am very keen to find an
Owner who will cherish her. She will be sold fully equipped - all I shall remove is my personal gear - there may even be some Scotch left in the drinks locker. She is part 1 Registered and was in England on Brexit day. For some of her history find her on YouTube on My Classic Boat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBJqR44N1Yk&list=RDCMUCDzgEpfq5UCYJOaJYXWHbbQ&start_radio=1&rv=OBJqR44N1Yk&t=3
