Kelsall Trimaran used

This is an extremely well built, home completed, cruising trimaran partly designed by her vendor builder in association with Kelsall.  She has a grp/foam sandwich construction that has proved to be reliable, stiff, light, warm, quiet and very strong. The clever layout has four berths, separate heads compartment & L shaped galley. Her rig has a balanced main and jib boom system to make her a doddle to sail singlehanded. This boat bristles with many innovative ideas, has been lovingly maintained and thus must be viewed with her builder to be truly appreciated. There is a detailed inventory available from the Brokers and more information on her owner's website (please ask for the link). Viewing by appointment through our Suffolk Office - 01473 659681
