Owners comments

Blue Angel is a well equipped and maintained quality cruising boat which was bought when we moved from sail to power due to health problems.

She was bought to satisfy my wife’s accommodation requirements and we planned to use her for many years including returning to Holland without a mast! This plan explains the very expensive but comprehensive heating system for example.

Sadly her health suddenly got much worse and after 11 weeks in hospital she died. It has taken me 3 years to bring myself to decide the obvious that I can’t handle her alone and conclude that I had better make a change to a smaller power boat or motor sailor that I can handle alone. She is therefore reluctantly for sale.
