Owners Comments :-

"Allonzi is a perfect boat for the first time owner as we were when we purchased her, very kindly sailing style and a very seaworthy aspect. Allonzi was initially sailed on the Mersey and moored in the Liverpool marina on Coburg Warf, six years ago we sailed Allonzi across Liverpool bay to North Wales and Port Dinnorwic, where we have remained ever since sailing the waters of Menai and around Anglesey. Allonzi is presently out on the hard at PD in a cradle, we have been busy carrying out a number of jobs to her in preparing for relaunch and for her new owner to enjoy sailing her almost immediately! Allonzi is in good condition inside and out, all that will be required prior to relaunch is a fresh coat of anti-foul."
