Truman 30 para vender (1978) en Rosneath, SCT, Reino Unido

The Truman 30, designed by Angus Primrose. She is the same hull as the Moody 30 but better built! 

The fit out of these boats is much better quality and she has stood the test of time accordingly. This is a robust cruising yacht with 7 berths, ideal for a family but easy to sail short handed too.

They don't come up often as only 7 were built!
