Remarks
Brao is in remarkable condition. It is really rare to see such clean bilges and shiny keel bolts! One owner from new, originally based on the south coast of England before moving to France. She was in France at the crucial dates of Brexit so is fully EU VAT paid status.
Sadly, due to age and health, Brao has seen less and less use, almost none since 2019. She has however been regularly cleaned, bottom scrubbed and antifouled and engine service including January 2025.
Sensibly priced, we recommend immediate viewing.
