REMARKS
"Alcedo" was purchased by her present owners 22 years ago, she has been used infrequently in recent years for local sailing and is now sadly for sale due to ill health. Prior to 2020 she was sailed extensively up the rivers Orwell, Alde and Deben plus trips to Ramsgate, Dover, N France, Belgium and Netherlands. She is described by her owners as being a very seaworthy boat, she sails well to windward and downwind her cruising chute is very useful. Her engine has always proved reliable too.
