Bilge keel Sadler 32 moulded in 1997 for Andy Middleton (ex Sadler shipwright) who installed the deck, main bulkheads,keels,rudder, mast post, interior mouldings and and the headlining. The current (and only) owner completed the fit out and launched "Sea Music" in the early summer of 1998
The Sadler 32 has an enviable reputation for her sea keeping and handling, being a development from the Contessa 32, which was also designed by David Sadler.
This particular craft has been much loved by her owner/builder, her inventory includes Eberspacher heating, hot and cold water, radar and autopilot.

Owner's Comments
"Sea Music" was part built for me by Andy Middleton, an ex shipwright for Sadler Yachts, and I completed her fit out ready for early Summer in 1998. My first trip with her was a cross channel voyage to France! Over the years we have extensively explored the South West coast of the UK with numerous trips across the Channel to St Malo, Cherbourg, St Vaast and the Channel Islands.
The boat has proven herself to be an accomplished and re-assuring craft in all weathers, we have never had a moment's concern - even in some sometimes iffy conditions!
The bilge keels have proven themselves invaluable, particularly when exploring the shallow waters of her home port in Poole and have allowed us to go places that otherwise would be impossible.
Health reasons within the family have kept "Sea Music" ashore since 2019, which is why I have taken the sad decision to sell her.
