Woodbridge, Suffolk, United Kingdom

£199,950

'ANDROMEDA' is a beautiful Dale Nelson 38 built in 2002 with the newer layout with central double bed in aft cabin. Purchased by the present owner in 2017. At purchase the owner spent £11,000 with Dale on a partial refit, including at new underwater seacocks, superstructure gel coat repairs, new exhaust rubbers from the engines to the silencer. A new calorifier was fitted by the owner at the same time. Batteries were replaced in 2019. Since purchase she has been in undercover heated storage each winter. She was not launched in the 2020 season due to the owners building a new house at that time. She returned to the UK in 2021 and has been stored outside under a fully fitted lightweight cover during the winter costing over £4500 and is included in the sale. She was Copper coated in 2022.
