24ft Sailing Yacht. Snapdragon 24, 20hp diesel inboard. Bilge keel River Exe £3000 Exmouth, Exeter in Exeter, Devon for sale

The Snapdragon design remains as popular today as when they were first produced in the 1960's. The fact that many remain is a credit to the all round qualities of these boats. A simple and safe layout including basic rig and safe cockpit makes them ideal for short handed or family cruising. Below decks, most creature comforts are catered for including a heads area and saloon. The Kubota engine should prove reliable and relatively inexpensive to maintain. All round a good boat to get afloat General Specification LOA : 7.47m (24ft 6in) LWL : 6.25m (20ft 6in) Beam : 2.45m (8ft 0in) Draft : 0.76m (2ft 6in) Displacement : 1678kg Ballast : 703kg Construction Built by Thames Marine, Canvey Island Paint finish Moulded non-slip decks Anchor locker Air draft approximately 1.83m (6ft) Antifouled winter 2011 Bermudan Sloop Alloy mast/spars Mast stepped in tabernacle 2 x sheet winches in cockpit Slab reefing mainsail (age unknown, condition good) Furling jib (age unknown, condition good) Sail cover Mechanical Beta Marine 20hp diesel 10 gallon fuel tank 2 x batteries Accommodation 5 berths in 2 cabins Main cabin with L-shaped dinette which converts to double berth to port and quarter berth to starboard Galley to starboard with stainless steel sink and ample storage lockers and work surface Gascooker with twin hob and grill Separate heads compartment to port with sea toilet (no holding tank) Hanging locker to starboard Forecabin with v-berth/double berth Lockers under all berths and under side decks 12V cabin lighting Radio/CD player 25 gallon freshwater tank Headroom approximately 1.75m (5ft 9in) Equipment Navigation Equipment VHF AH800 Autohelm Echosounder Masthead and deck navigation lights Masthead windvane Safety Equipment Horseshoe buoy Manual bilge pump (in cockpit locker) Deck Equipment Stainless steel pushpit, pulpit, stanchions and guardwires Cockpit dodgers (blue) with name CHANCE Sprayhood (frame good, but hood needs replacing) Boathook Fenders Mooring warps Plough Anchor Remarks The Snapdragon 24 is a very popular family cruising yacht, with great accommodation for her size. With her shallow draft, she is ideal for exploring the South Coast or, with her easily lowered mast, the inland rivers/canals, where this boat has cruised with her current and last owners. The Snapdragon 24 is a capable small cruiser and it is understood that this boat circumnavigated the British Isles with a former owner. She would make an excellent first boat and is in commission and ready to sail, she could do with a little tlc but easily done whilst enjoying a cruise. This is the second Snapdragon I have owned and they are an excellent pedigree, built with a heavy layup Snapdragons have proven to be good solid yachts. Priced to sell as need the space. Mooring available River Exe by negotiation.
