A rare opportunity to acquire one of these superb vessels that has been meticulously maintained and is ready for new owners to walk on board and immediately sail off to wherever the fancy takes them. Sea Song is well designed and offers three substantial double berth cabins, further berths available within the saloon if necessary. She also has three heads which offers a far greater degree of privacy particularly when on extended voyages.
The joinery remains very good, finished in mahogany and sapele hard wood veneers with natural hard wood trims, all with a finish that belies the vessel's age. The soft furnishings are also good with the sofas finished in a lightly patterned blue material.
The layout optimises the space and, aside from the three cabins and heads, provides for a very comfortable saloon with large dining table and island sofa unit, a linear galley is ranged on the port side making on board entertainment particularly enjoyable.
Please note that further photographs will be added at a later stage.
