Firstly- an apology. If this is not good form to ask this sort of question here, then sorry- as you can see, I don't post much. Just ask a passing mod to remove it. No worries.
I'm slowly boat-searching and have a shortlist of four really at the moment. This is what looks like the least- likely on the list for me, but it's not too far away, and I want headroom, as well as a boat I could sometimes sail single-handed.

Well, you can all read this as well as I can. What really worries me is that it hasn't been out of the water since 2017 and the last engine service was 2017. This feels very, very bad to me. It never does an engine good to lie around, and I can't believe a careful owner would treat their boat in this way. I believe the boat may have the right headroom for me, so that's why I'd like to have a look. I think there will be the usual issues of standing rigging state, and yes, I would get a survey. I'm a bit suspicious of the lack of pictures too, inside.
I'm not too enamoured of the name, either, tbh, but that's personal prejudice.
