I've just seen this on ebay.

She appears to be in great condition! The pics of her innards show she's been well looked after!
Fitter with an Eberspacher too

How would she compare to say a Leisure 23SL?
Does she have standing headroom?

Does anyone here own a Sadler 25?

Cheers,

Our first boat was a Sadler 25. We loved her and she looked after us very well as we started out on the sailing learning curve. We sailed the Moray Firth, West Coast of Scotland & Orkney in her and always felt safe. This one does look to be a bargain.

I can't remember the exact headroom height (this is never a problem for me...I'm only 4'10"!) but as far as I can remember my 6ft husband couldn't quite stand up but to get full standing headroom on a boat that size is a big ask.

Do you not think it is suspicious that the seller only accepts paypal!!!

Suspicious or not Paypal cover you if anything goes wayward... It'd be better cash on delivery I must admit.

@lurob, I guess standing headroom is an ask, the Leisure 23SL's have it though and they're 2 foot shorter. they are meant to be beasts to sail, safe, reliable etc...
 
Had one for a couple of years - great boat if you are less than about 5'8" - otherwise you will develop a bad back.

No (proper) cooker.

No doubt it wll ramp up in price at the last minute.
 
Great boat. Bidding started atv £255. What a joke.Bet it goes for about £5K.

Someones prepared to take the risk when selling it seems. Good luck to them, hope they get a decent price.
I don't watch ebay often, but when I do it seems that boats like this normally are a"buy it now" or start the bidding close to the asking price, This sale will give a good indication of the second hand market values. Probably.
