The Spirit 28 is known for its exceptional sailing performance and offshore capabilities. The design offers ease of use, making it an ideal first yacht for sailing events, family cruising and overnighting. This particular Spirit 28, Saxon, was built in the early eighties (approx) and presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a quality fiberglass yacht for a very fair price. Saxon comes fully equipped below deck, has a choice of foresails and a spinnaker. 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 (Nov 24). The Yanmar 9HP engine has been regularly maintained with a new water pump and drive coupling installed. Recent hull maintenance includes full paint work above and antifouling (Nov 25). Saxon is ready to sail with confidence and for family enjoyment.
