Broker's Comments
This is a nice example of the very popular Oceanis 281 that appears to have been well maintained. There is a little bit of teak damage to the cockpit seating which had the owner been going to keep the boat, he would have replaced with Tec-Dek.
A modern yacht that could sleep six at a pinch but perfectly suited to a couple with a junior crew. Light and airy below, wide side decks and an uncluttered foredeck topside, she should be comfortable for coastal and cross channel work in reasonable conditions. These yachts have a reputation for being fun to sail, are easily handled and quick and nimble. What more could one ask?
