Very smart little yacht
Asking price: $8,250 Listed: Wed 11 May, 6:28 pm Listing #: 375763757

Very smart Sparkman and Stevens Falcon 24. This little boat is one of the best S and S 24s I have seen. It has a great rig with lots of sails in good order, an inboard petrol engine(Dolphin) that pushes it along nicely. Inside the wiring is all new, it has lights, berths for 5! Sink, cooker, toilet with holding tank. Its all fibre glass(easy care) It needs antifouling as the bottom is a bit dirty and you could cut and polish the hull while you are there and it will look fantastic. It is not a boat with a list of jobs to do like so many, it really is (aside from the dirty bottom) ready to sail away(I sailed it on Saturday) and it should not need any money spent on it for a long long time.

I think you would be hard pressed to get a better s and s 24 than this. She is a nice little ship. A great little family boat for the gulf and well priced.(has the best couch Ive ever seen on a boat, very retro) These boats are a great choice for some one learning to sail to as it is forgiving and simple and well designed, not to mention quite fast!

It is priced to sell because I have brought a Reactor 25. I brought both boats and have been deciding which one to keep. I would really like to keep both.(Yes I love yachts!) But that is not really practical. This one is in great order and I figure at just $8250 it should be very easy to sell and so here it is and she is a very good buy!

I can chuck in a mooring for a little extra to it if helps the sale.
