1976 Fiskars Finnsailer 38

Woodbridge, Suffolk, United Kingdom

£39,950

The Finnsailer 38 is a substantial and powerful Finnish motor sailer, featuring excellent build quality and accommodation for up to nine, in three separate cabins and saloon.  This particular example is powered by a Perkins 85hp diesel engine. She has recently been fitted with a new refrigerator, new electronics and diesel fired warm air heating and would make an excellent passage maker for extended cruising or long stays aboard. This boat was in the same ownership for the first 40 years and they are rarely seen on the market here in the UK.
