I was back in Aktio Marina in Preveza this morning Surveying this Brise De Mer 38ft for an English client. Built in 1987 by Chantiers
Le Guen Hemidy in France.

Fantastic builders without the hard chine you'd usually expect |

She will probably need an electric winch, but I did like this retractable idea! |

Though durable, these Cutlass bearings will wear out, and then they must be replaced to avoid annoying vibrations or, worse, shaft, log, or strut damage.
Engine was ran up and a short test was carried out with a water supply!
Surveyors comments: A long-distance cruiser, well built and of a good design and construction. Ideal for a couple starting into the industry who would like the peace of mind of a strong yet responsive Yacht. Priced at 40,000 Sterling!
