Remarks: "Storm was commissioned in 1996 and sailed to Langkawi. December 2003 saw a change of ownership and she has since undergone a continuous program of refurbishment and improvement. This shows particularly on the professional Awlgrip paint finish, the headlining and the 'Luxaface' galley tops. The galley now includes an area for Microwave, toaster and electric kettle.
Storm now provides an exceptionally comfortable home with all conveniences and the ability to go anywhere.
"As we are giving up the cruising life due to our advancing years Storm is offered for sale with a very extensive inventory. "
They have cruised in this local region only and are now looking at new adventures on shore. She is ready for inspection by appointment. Come live your dream!
