1972 Snapdragon 747

Woodbridge, Suffolk, United Kingdom

£3,450

The Snapdragon 747 was the updated version of the 24, a strongly built, family sailing cruiser with comfortable accommodation for up to five and a separate heads. With twin keels and a 2' 6" draft, they are ideally suited to the shallow waters of the East Coast.

This particular example is fitted with a Yanmar 8hp diesel on shaft and is presented in reasonable order for her age.  Good opportunity to get out on the water for sensible outlay.
