REMARKS
"Shifta" was purchased new by her present owner in May 2000. For 20 years, Summers were spent cruising the Channel and Baltic, stored ashore every 3rd winter. She has not been raced other than fun regattas and has never been seriously grounded or damaged. The shallow fin option does not appear to affect her performance, she carries full sail up to 24 knots of apparent wind and is light on the helm, steady and responsive. Her engine has been serviced according to schedule by French Marine. "Shifta" has given great pleasure to her present owners but advancing years and health mean a reluctant sale is sensible.
