About this Snapdragon 24

English

The Snapdragon 24 is a strongly built, family sailing cruiser with comfortable accommodation for up to five and a separate heads. With twin keels and a 2' 6" draft, they are ideally suited to the shallow waters of the East Coast or the Norfolk Broads.

This particular example has been well maintained and cherished and benefits from a modern Nanni 14hp diesel, new stack pack, Simrad tiller pilot and is presented in very good order both inside and out. Great opportunity to acquire a solid, sought after family cruiser with a modern inboard diesel engine on shaft.
