OFFERS INVITED
Mirage 28 Mk2 bilge keel family cruiser. Built in 1983, this is an extremely popular family cruiser, benefiting from 1.8m saloon headroom. She last changed hands in 1996 and had been regularly maintained and sailed around the Solent (and beyond) over the years. However, recent changes in health/circumstance have prevented an engine refurbishment from being completed and an engine removal, to complete the refurbishment, is required before being able to be moved under her own power.
