Broker's Comments

Register with Boatshed to see 65 extra photos of this Ohlson 8.8

These fine Scandinavian designed and built boats are suitable for both racing and cruising and their seaworthy abilities provide for coastal and blue water passages. The build quality is characteristic of this generation of boats, heavily laid GRP and a solid deck to hull construction.

This version has been well cared for by the current owner, including the sails, engine and overall upkeep inside and out. The interior is comfortable, with good headroom, space in the galley and a comfortable saloon. This boat also benefits from a very efficient cabin heater, separate forward cabin and heads. The hull has recently benefited from 5 coats of West's epoxy and the standing rigging was replaced in 2017 with Dyform.

When I visited the boat, I was impressed by its upkeep, upgrades, sturdiness and internal accommodation. This boat has a lot to offer at a a competitive price, including single-handed or family cruising, in comfort and safety.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Open to reasonable offers.
