Description

Here is a tidy Hunter Minstrel 23 for sale. This is a 3-berth swing keel yacht, that some would consider a cheaper yet classy alternative to Cornish Shrimpers.

The vendor is selling ‘Misty’ now as the family are ready to own a larger boat, but they have very much enjoyed owning her.

This is a classic Hunter – with its tell-tale lovely red sails, and this particular model has baby blue hull, 30cm minimum draft and strong bilge keels which are perfect for coastal and estuary exploration.

Paperwork we are holding for this yacht includes:

Certified copy of the VAT Invoice dated September 1989 and an accompanying letter confirming this from Hunter Boats Ltd

Original RYA Bill of Sale to the current owners (2020)

Engine service inc. new impeller and spark plugs (Apr 2024)

Invoices for engine servicing 2014, 2005 and 2004

Invoice for the new engine (2004)

This boat is currently in the water at Northney Marina and available for viewings with us 6 days a week.
