Brokers Comments

This Van de Stadt Trintella IV Victory 40 class ketch 'Bonnie of Dartmouth' is well known in the Solent having been the Royal Southern Yacht Club committee boat for many years and as such was always kept mechanically sound, including an engine rebuild in 2018. Due to health reasons her (chief race officer) owner now has to take a back seat and she needs a new owner to spend some time and money taking her to her next role as a long distance family cruiser, house boat, or even continuing her committee boat role.

New owner wanted with "elbow grease" and some additional funds to enjoy her on the high seas on a modest budget.
