Any views on this, "marina" fees €75 a year, probably not SSR reg.

Aloa made two versions of this hull, the later version had a modified bow and stern, perfect boat for a couple, quite well thought of as an alternative to the jag 27. sorry, have no idea of the location mooring.

Should be no problem in buying it. If it is on the Greek register the seller will have to deregister and then you put it on the SSR. You should be able to insure it with a UK insurer who will give you a copy of the certificate in Greek. Other than that, no restrictions on keeping it there, although you may want to consider what happens to it when you are not there.

Thanks for the info, I am waiting for more info from the seller, but at the right price and very small running costs it might be fun.

...although it will need a DEKPA, which in turn will require insurance to a minimum of statutory Greek levels, with a certificate in Greek. Your insurer should be aware of this; some, but not all, issue the translation automatically on learning the boat will be in Greek waters.

If the boat tickles your fancy then do not be dissuaded about buying in Greece. There's plenty of advice and guidence available on this forum, and you'll enjoy sailing in Greek waters. Good luck.

No mention of condition of sails but,from pictures, looks like a bargain to me.
