This 1980 Walker H28 ketch is amongst the best we have ever seen, and is now for sale.
The interior is a tribute to her current long term owner as is the immaculate condition of the repowered 2005 WM 28hp Diesel engine.
Boasting all of the normal sea friendly sailing from a ketch that is well known to many sailors. This one has some additional half ton ballast in the keel to make her even stiffer to sail.
Extensively overhauled in 2005 and 2006 with - engine replacement, sails and all rigging, mast out for repainting, stainless fuel tank, complete re wire of electrics, Icom VHF, autopilot and upholstery replaced.
She's a very tidy vessel with plenty of charm inside and out. Numerous receipts available for the last 10 years history.
Surveyed and anti-fouled December 2016. Survey available upon request.
