English
Stylish and well looked after yacht. New Standing Rigging in 2023 and Running Rigging in 2019 are just one of the advantages. She is available for viewing as of April 2024 after being polished, serviced and antifouled which included stripping back old layers to the original fibre-glass.
In 2022 she had all engine mounts replaced, as well as maintenance on the cooling system which now makes for a very quiet, smooth running engine. Generator was also re-conditioned.
Galloper is equipped for comfortable, self-sufficient cruising (200 miles a day possible with the right rig setting and conditions) and is beautifully proportioned. She gives a decent performance on all sail points, and is capable of 9 knots in a 10 knot breeze. Her light and responsive twin helm steering gives the helmsman confidence that there will be few surprises when encountering rougher conditions at sea, something this yacht was designed to handle.
Below decks she is fitted with the LIGHT MAPLE option, and this combined with large windows give the feeling of modernity and luminosity.
For those looking for a well equipped blue-water cruiser this is definitely it!

Broker comments
Galloper is fully equipped for long and comfortable stays on board. Her current owners maintain her to very high standards, and this is a good opportunity to inherit a go anywhere yacht. The light wood colour inside are particularly attractive, considering the light let in by the large windows.
