Comments:
A unique opportunity to purchase a professionally fitted out Bruce Roberts 34 that has received regular updating and maintenance. In current ownership for the last 8 years "Yunitsa" has been cruised, mostly with only 2 persons, cross channel every year along with trips to Brittany, La Rochelle the Channel Islands and along the South Coast of England.
An excellent sea boat of very strong build designed for ocean sailing with similar sea-keeping abilities to the Contessa 32 providing an easy motion, sailing well to windward and comfortable in rough seas and strong winds. Sails and equipment are easy to manage with a powerful and reliable engine (similar to those fitted on Moody yachts) that is easy to obtain spares.
Owners are reluctantly selling due to upgrading to a larger boat. Viewing highly recommended.
