Owners Comments

"Mochyn Du" is a completely different boat from previous incarnations - handles superbly, even with novice crew. We have won races at our club in Poole against proven opposition

I am only selling (reluctantly) as I have moved jobs and she is no longer justified as my week day "pied a mere" and my wife won't let me keep 2 boats

"Mochyn Du" presents a very reasonable opportunity to participate in the ultra cool and competitive QT circuit

A boat share on Cardiff Bay would also be considered
