Broker's Comments

This Buchannan 27 wooden cruiser/racer has been cherished.Being beautifully polished & varnished, it brings out the wonderful shades of the cold moulded mahogany hull.This home built boat has been constructed to Lloyds A1 specification.A Bucannan, full of character and spacious for the size has been kept ashore inside, and launched when required.She took part in the 2008 3 Peaks Race & won the Round Anglesey race the following year.It has crusied as far north as the Hebrides & south as far as the Scillies.If it is a lovely wooden vessel beautifully maintained & full of character you desire, look no further!
