The last Finesse 24 to be completed (not last number: that is No.70) is seriously for sale. She is boat No. 69 and has been owned in Northumberland for a number of years based at the RNYC in Blyth.

Peter, her current owner, is moving abroad permanently so needs to achieve this. His asking price of £10, 000 is negotiable. This is a huge reduction on an earlier price.

It is a unique opportunity to take over the care of this vessel’s continuing life. As far as I am aware she was actually completed in 1994. Her layout below is a little different to the ‘standard’ F24, being built to order by a discerning boating couple.
