1985 Westerly Merlin

Remarks :'Capriccio of Bosham' is a Westerly Merlin bilge-keel GRP sloop. She has a white hull with cream superstructure, grey band and blue and red stripes. She has unfortunately been unattended for the last couple of years due to unfortunate circumstances so is requiring some work and attention to restore what once was a lovingly cared for boat. A survey in 2019 found osmotic blistering below the waterline so this should also be considered.She has a very comprehensive history with reams of paperwork showing all her history over the years. She would be great for someone looking for a bit of a project.Please call us on 01243 550042 for more information.
