1985 Beneteau First 29, lifting keel, with twin rudders that are designed to provide stability for drying out on the cast iron stub keel. 'Willow III' has benefitted from numerous improvements & regular winter maintenance ashore over the past 12 years in my ownership. Improvements include Lithium batteries, Victron charge controllers & flexible solar panel, compressor fridge unit, new headlings, LED lighting, seacocks replaced with Trudesign, keel bolts replaced & complete overhaul of lifting keel mechanism & the cast iron drop keel shot blasted & faired (5 coats of epoxy + antifoul). Recent wind & depth instruments & masthead VHF aerial. Custom laminated tiller with telescopic Spinlock extension. Willow will be very ready for more adventures in 2024!
I’m now planning to move to a larger boat for a liveaboard lifestyle so I’ll be a motivated seller, willing to negotiate with the right buyer to get afloat this season
Currently ashore at Hayling Island & due to be relaunched to a swinging mooring by April.
