The Parker 275 is a quality, British built yacht, with a lifting keel. Parker Yachts specialised in lift keel boats and built them to a high standard. They combine good performance with spacious accommodation. This example has been lovingly cared for and maintained, by her current owners for 22 years. They also own a Parker 285 in Holland and as such are very experienced Parker owners. A good opportunity to acquire a safe, family sailing cruiser, presented in excellent order and ready for the season. Viewing by appointment through Howard Ford Marine Sales.
