Broker's Comments

This really is a fine example of the Lifting Keel Parker 285. Owned by a father and son team who have maintained her to a high standard and enjoyed their 10 years of ownership. Stored ashore on her cradle in the winter, always professionally winterised and serviced.
The Lifting keel provides great windward performance whilst being able to reach the parts of harbours and rivers that other yachts can only dream of....
