Description
Boat Description
"Christolyn" was commissioned in February 2002. This is a 3 cabin version with 2 heads/shower compartments. She is currently berthed in Port Dinorwic, North Wales.
The vessel is only in her second ownership and has been well maintained by both owners, which is evident by her excellent condition. She has been used solely for pleasure purposes, sailing the south coast of England, Channel Islands, West coast of Wales, Scotland, and South West England.
"Christolyn" has been wintered ashore for the past 12 years and has been mechanically serviced annually by a professional engineer.
Her standing rigging has been replaced in 2024 together with a new spray hood and lazy jack bag.
