English
One of the very last of the Hanse 470's ever built and a really good example. 'Skyhunter II' is one of only a few of this model supplied new with in-mast furling and makes this wonderfully powerful cruiser easier to handle shorthanded.
'Skyhunter II' has the upgraded cherry wood cabinetry, twinned with the light maple flooring which creates a light interior space to spend time on board. She is well equipped with full teak decks, electric winches, retractable bow thruster, a full navigation suite (including recently upgraded 12" B&G plotter) and plenty more.
