A comfortable and well-equipped liveaboard displacement Trawler Yacht with an array of systems providing good off-grid living and long-term economical cruising capabilities. “Puzzler” has been cruised by her current Owners for the last 19 years and is as happy on a long sea-passage or cruising inland rivers and waterways. Powered by reliable and economic Ford Sabre 120hp diesel engines, she will cruise at around 8 knots with a maximum speed of around 12 knots.
