Channel 32 (sailboat) for sale

NOW REDUCED
Mention "Wavetrain" to anyone familiar with keelboat racing in the UK and they will instantly know this boat. Designed by Julian Everitt in the heydays of the CHS Rule, the forerunner to IRC, she was way ahead of her time and still looks the part. A stunning design, superbly built, professionally maintained and constantly updated, this yacht still turns heads and can hold her own on the race track with aplomb.
"Wavetrain" is a lot of fun per £ and gives that rare commodity - Pride of Ownership. The current proud owner has new adventures in the pipeline and would like to find a nice new home that can give this marvellous yacht the justice she deserves.
An added benefit is that the boat comes with a double axle road trailer with moulded poppets to support the hull. The boat has been dry sailed under the current ownership.
"Wavetrain" is a turnkey ready to go yacht which benefits from a recent price reduction.
