Owners Comments
"Laxey" was purchased by her present owners in 1995 and has been based here at Tollesbury Marina, spending Summers afloat on the pontoon berth and winters ashore. She has been happily sailed along the East Coast from the Thames to the Wash. The engine was re-built in 2008 including new cylinder sleeve, piston, rings and all bearings. Her last survey was in 1995. She has just been polished and antifouled ready for the season and her interior cleaned ready for her new owners.
