REMARKS
"Avalon" was purchased by her present owners around 16 years ago. She's a lovely example of the Northshore built Southerly 115 series 3. Her current owners, the second since new, remark "As the second owners of 'AVALON', we have enjoyed sailing and caring for her over the past 16 years, and she has safely taken us around the UK and Ireland. She is a stable, seaworthy boat, that has coped well with a range of sea conditions we have encountered. Her swing keel means she can play in shallow water, dry out on a beach and explore creeks and rivers other boats cannot reach. 'AVALON's factory fitted non-standard 50hp Yanmar engine is very reliable and powerful."
