Broker's Comments

Colvic Watson boats have a reputation for being well built, rugged cruisers and this 26 is no exception. The boat features four berths in two cabins, with standing headroom throughout and a fully enclosed wheelhouse with excellent visibility and a good sized saloon area, with table. The galley is spacious, as is the heads, complete with shower and the engine and tankage sited amidships, giving a well-balanced boat.

When I visited this boat I was impressed by its attractive interior woodwork throughout, headroom, accommodation and living space and the sailing and passage making characteristics reported by the owner. This boat really is an affordable gem, full of surprises and ready to sail, with a number of potential uses.
