The Spirit 28, designed by Van De Stadt, is a highly-regarded sailboat known for its exceptional sailing performance and offshore capabilities. The design offers ease of use, making it an ideal first yacht for sailing events, cruising and overnight camping. This particular Spirit 28, Saxon, was built in the early eighties and presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a high-quality fiberglass yacht for a very fair price. Saxon comes fully equipped below deck, has a choice of foresails with a fantastic 9HP Yanmar diesel engine. Recent above deck maintenance includes new deck paintwork, renovations and painting of the mast, replacement of mast-mounted lighting, aerial and wiring, together with the replacement of all stainless steel rigging. The engine has been regularly maintained with a new water pump and drive coupling recently installed. Recent hull maintenance includes full paint work and antifouling. Saxon is ready to sail with confidence and enjoyment.
