FINAL NOTES
Final notes
The owner of SYL died in 2011, and from then till now the boat has been maintained in the basic things and has been sailing almost nothing.
The new owner will need to make an update to the boat to start to enjoy its fantastic way of sailing.
To see the real state of the boat in the next links:
