This very pretty double-ender is therefore understood to be presented in a very good condition throughout. With her shallow draft, the Hunter Minstrel 23 is a versatile and capable little ‘go anywhere’ cruising yacht which can also take advantage of cheap drying moorings, thereby reducing the overall cost of ownership. This example is being sold complete with a good road trailer (which the vendor has towed for some 200+ miles), making her well suited to trailer sailing and exploring waters away from home. And with the recent expenditure and care that’s been lavished on her, together with her recently copper-coated hull, she should require little ongoing maintenance for some time to come, making her ideal for a single person, couple or small family new to sailing, or perhaps for someone looking to downsize and wishing to spend more time sailing and less time working! This boat is seriously for sale and offers will be considered.
