Cobra 850 (1983) for sale in Cardiff, United Kingdom

Summary

Set sail in the extensively renovated Cobra 850, a perfect choice for enthusiasts of weekend coastal sailing and short seasonal holidays. Based in Cardiff, this United Kingdom gem is a vessel from 1983 that boasts a beam of 2.90 meters and an overall length of 8.69 meters. Priced at a reasonable £15,000, the boat offers an enticing blend of retro charm and the amenities you'd expect on more modern, high-end cruisers. The crisp, comfortable interior provides ample room for two, yet capably accommodates up to four. Handling is breezy even for the solitary sailor, largely owing to the bow thruster that makes manoeuvrability a breeze. An impressive list of features, including a good suit of sails, two 100W solar panels, all required safety features and a wide range of instruments, make this boat both safe and user-friendly. The Bukh DV20 power unit has only done 180 hrs since its 2016 rebuild and is supplemented by a newly installed alternator and starter. Whether you're an experienced sailor or new to the sport, the Cobra 850 is as clean and comfortable beneath the deck as above it, waiting to sail away into your next adventure.
