REMARKS

“Sapphire Sue” was purchased by her current owner in 2011. Her previous owner had spent a great deal of time and money on improvement works including new electronics, head linings, running rigging, roller genoa, stack pack mainsail system and new internal upholstery. In addition the hull has been professionally re-sprayed and fully epoxy treated. The present owner has carried on with upgrades such as the new Sole diesel engine and mainsail, stack pack and running rigging.
