Built in 1980 on a Peter Nicholls shell, Virago has been cherished by her current owner for 45 years and is coming to the market for the first time, sadly due to ill health. Designed with practicality in mind, her simple yet sturdy owner fit-out offers accommodation for up to six people, making her ideal for family cruising or a liveaboard lifestyle. A solid fuel stove provides heating for the cabin and an instantaneous gas water heater supplies continuous hot water instead of the usual calorifier arrangement. Her straightforward electrical setup includes 230V shore power, with a 60W solar panel to trickle charging the batteries. Priced affordably, Virago presents an excellent opportunity for a new owner to enjoy as is, or upgrade with modern conveniences such as an inverter for off-grid cruising.
