I would like to ask you what you make of this?

Me saily boat has almost been sold, subject to survey and contract. I'm looking at coming back to power. Budget is around £100k. I found this in France, but if you look at the name on the stern, it changes??

There is also a number on the port rear side which stays the same with both names. My guess is the vendor has used his and previous sale photos or, it could be a wrongun

Right to be cautious Cliff, but that would apply to any boat you are considering. People do change boat names and use a combination of old and new pics. I'd be asking for the most recent photos only to save a potentially wasted trip. When we bought our dive boat a few years back we looked at a Newhaven sea warrior that looked in superb condition, turns out the photos were almost 10 years old! Luckily we only had to travel to Salcombe to view it. Going to France is a different matter.

Thanks, and here is another one!!

I'm thinking of moving to warmer climes, and this one is in the Med where I would love to be.

The engine change is way odd! Does this mean the boat will go round in circles!

[Why Not]

Cliff - the table cloth definitely put me off!

They are not bad boats if a bit compact. If you can get one with twin Volvo Penta KAMD 300 as the extra horses make the difference cruise 22 to 23 tops close to 30 knots.
