REMARKS
"Rendezvous" (ex Little White Witch) was purchased by her present owner in 2012, a professional survey was carried out at the time. She has been happliy sailed from West Mersea with a mixture of family use and light club racing, cruising to Belgium, Holland and France each year and wintering ashore. She is a truly impressive yacht, well designed (Hanse took over building of the boats and re-branded the Finngulf 33 as the Hanse 331) and attentively maintained over the years.
