Here is a tidy Hunter Minstrel 23 for sale. This is a 3-berth swing keel yacht, that some would consider a cheaper yet classy alternative to Cornish Shrimpers.
The vendor is selling ‘Misty’ now as the family are ready to own a larger boat, but they have very much enjoyed owning her.
This is a classic Hunter – with its tell-tale lovely red sails, and this particular model has baby blue hull, 30cm minimum draft and strong bilge keels which are perfect for coastal and estuary exploration.
This boat is currently in the water at Northney Marina and available for viewings with us 6 days a week.
