Broker's Comments

The MG Spring is a brilliant performance cruiser that has a very big following. Made famous by a show called Howard’s Way they are great boats that combine performance and comfort very successfully.

This example is generally in good condition with just a few areas that could do with some attention. The woodwork in the interior would benefit from a varnishing but is dry throughout.

She benefits from a diesel heater, sea toilet with holding tank, solar charger and electric water pump. The wing keel makes a great option for those wanting to sail in shallower waters whilst not knocking any performance.
