Description

Robust and sea worthy, Veronica, is an easily handled bilge keel, ketch rig motor sailer.
Built 1982, she has 4 berths located in the the spacious forward cabin together with a full galley and separate heads compartment.
The current owners use the boat very regularly and have found her to be a very comfortable 'home from home'.
There are a few sail combinations and the motor power comes from the Beta 50 inboard, 4 cylinder engine - 50hp which was installed in 2006 and last serviced 2017.
She has dual steering positions.
The last survey is dated July 2014.
If you'd like the benefit of being able to sail or cruise, in comfort, in all weathers and extend the season throughout the winter, then Veronica is for you.
