About this Twister 28

English

The Kim Holman designed Twister needs little introduction. These fantastic small cruisers are well-mannered and fun to sail and just as handy coastal cruising as ocean crossing - which many have done. With elegant lines they attract attention wherever they sail, but this fantastic wooden version is a real head-turner, probably the best wooden Twister available. Cardnell Bros. built her to a high standard with generous amounts of teak. 'Oliva' has been in the same family for over 50 years and been extremely well maintained by her professional woodworking owner throughout this time. She has been cruised around northern Europe and in her early years successfully raced in Cowes Week and Burnham Week. Following the death of the owner, it is time for 'Oliva' to find a new family. An insurance survey from 2020 is available, on which there were no recommendations to be carried out!

Viewing by appointment only through the Essex office - 01621 785600.
