1978 Truman 30
Truman 30 - 1978 - £9,995
Angus Primrose designed classic along the same lines as the Moody 30, only with more space, the Truman 30 is a very interesting yacht. Thoughtfully designed to be safe and sea worthy she has a very roomy interior whilst again maintaining sea worthy features such as deep fiddles, secure and plentiful storage and good comfortable slepping berths, useable at sea.
New Webasto heating and a cockpit tent are perfect for the UK climate
Saildrive seal (2016) and rigging (2007/9) replaced
Would make an ideal liveaboard boat
