BROKER'S COMMENTS

It is very hard not to fall for this Summers & Payne built sloop – The story goes that she was a gift from a wealthy yacht owner to his winning skipper…Her current owner has ensured her structure is sound and possibly her size has meant her fittings remain mostly original – TEAL would make the most wonderful boat for a family to enjoy river or harbour sailing and her tom boyish good looks may allow her to survive another 100 years!
