Worth a look.
If she was last antifouled in 2024, what has she been doing since then?
The in mast furling mainsail would make an old lag like me hesitant, but perhaps that’s just me. I personally don’t like too many “ease of handling” gadgets on relatively small boats like this one because the gadgets in these sizes are made “down to a price”, and they can easily play up.
A point to check is “how much friction is there in the sail handling systems?”.
Friction in clever systems can make the whole business of sailing miserable.
The Bukh is a very old engine, but it ought to be good enough if the rebuild was done properly.
Fixed prop is a drawback. It cuts almost a knot off your speed.
