1993 Hunter Horizon 21

A capable, versatile and fun Sailing Yacht

Twingo is a well-maintained Hunter Horizon 21 who is Perfectly suited for solo sailors or small crews. Her thoughtful design and setup make her very easy to handle, whether navigating busy waters or enjoying tranquil moorings, and she's light enough to manage single handed in busy marinas/pontoons without difficulty. She has a bilge keel so can dry out upright at anchorages or moorings in tidal harbours and rivers.

She's currently ready to sail and afloat at her mooring on the idyllic Beaulieu River at Buckler’s Hard.

Reason for Sale
------------------------------
My partner and I just had a baby and feel we'll have less time to sail for the next few years so would prefer to pass on this lovely boat to a new owner who will get good use out of her.
