Broker's Comments

NO OFFERS

This boat comes with no documentation - all lost in a fire elsewhere. We will provide a Declaration of good Title upon purchase. There is no tax/VAT documentation.

Her current berth at Newhaven costs around £700 pcm and she must vacate by October.

This Comanche 32 presents a great opportunity to the DIY enthusiast or boat builder to secure ownership of a 32 foot Catamaran and through its refurbishment make the vessel your own.

Most electrical, electronic and mechanical systems on board will require test, repair, and or replacement.

She presents the impression of being strongly built with all of the standing rigging and deck components needed to get her sailing again, seemingly in place.

Furniture and internal fixings are of quality hardwood, however the hull has been submerged which has left its legacy on most surfaces, lockers and other voids with some associated damage.

The engine has not been started since the vessel's submergence, however it looks like it could be viable for repair.

If you would like to see more, or get more information. Please do get in touch with us. We would be pleased to arrange a viewing.

She sank in a storm, due to a mooring line parting and causing a hole at a rear quarter. She has been lifted and the repair made - she is now floating again.

She sank to the extent that there was a foot of headroom inside the cabin and was underwater for one tide only.
