For sale only because (Having finally been able to sort my deepwater mooring!) I have brought what is essentially the 26ft version of this boat, BC 001 the 2013 pre-production/prototype BC26. This has the relatively smaller cabin, bigger cockpit (plus some very welcome additional deck space) that we need.
Note. Spray hood shown here in "sunshade mode" on the hottest day of the year! Boat beached to allow easy swimming.
