OWNERS COMMENTS:
Meraki was ordered in late 2018 and due to Covid supply chain delays was delivered from Swallows yard by
trailer in Spring 2020. Boat first launched in Torquay in July 2020 with limited sailing that year due to covid
restrictions. Meraki has mainly been day sailed in the area surrounding Torbay and kept afloat at Torbay town
dock, overnight/weekend trips were taken to Dartmouth/Salcombe area. Meraki was unfortunately only lightly
used throughout 2023&2024 due to illness. Epoxy copper coated from new.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
Originally purchased as a downsized boat unfortunately due to delivery delays due to covid and failing health this boat has only seen very light usage. The original owner has always owned yachts and specified Meraki to a high standard (full guard rails, teak effect to cockpit, good instrument loadout, etc.) and has always maintained their boats to a high standard regardless of cost.
RECENT UPDATES:
First Engine Service at 25hours carried out in 2025 with replacement oil & filters & new impeller fitted.
Trailer serviced in spring 2025 with new wheel bearing, breakaway cord and general inspection/service.
Boat stored ashore over winter 2024 at Baltic wharf for routine inspection/general maintenance etc.
