"CHanser" is fastidiously maintained and has a host of cruising luxuries like central heating, shore-power, hot and cold running water, fridge, autopilot, a beautiful set of sails (as you'd expect on a sailmaker's own boat!) including a laminated fully-battened main dropping into a "stack-pack" lazy-jack cover. The boat is powered by a Volvo 20 HP saildrive diesel. For more details and images visit the full listing here.
