Description

1980 GRP 4-5 berth bilge keel sailing boat, ashore Limekilns, Rosyth. An ideal project yacht, range of equipment included. Competitively priced to reflect that I can't get the engine to start (contaminated fuel likely, engine has pressure when turned) , new accelerator required, some upgrading to wiring, equipment and general condition will be required.
