Broker's Comments
Boatshed Wales is pleased to present this particularly well-prepared example of the Achilles 9 metre yacht.
This vessel appears to have benefited from a significant programme of recent and historic investment and upgrading, with many onboard systems renewed or improved. The boat benefits from a comprehensive refit, including a full rewire and the instillation of updated navigation equipment. Plumbing systems have also been replaced, with new fuel, freshwater and holding tank arrangements reported.
Attention has extended throughout the vessel, with domestic and cosmetic improvements including a new cooker, refreshed upholstery, re-varnished interior woodwork, polished brasswork and sails described as crisp and in good order. The overall presentation suggests careful ongoing maintenance alongside the more substantial works carried out.
On deck and in terms of cruising capability, the specification is notably well considered. Equipment includes an electric windlass, windvane self-steering system, solar panels, wind generator, mast steps and self-tailing winches. Ground tackle is comprehensive, with three anchors on board, including a new Rocna. These features indicate a vessel set up with extended and potentially offshore cruising in mind.
The Achilles 9m is regarded as a capable and responsive cruiser, and this example appears to reflect that reputation, combining practical sailing performance with a strong emphasis on onboard systems, safety and self-sufficiency.
The vendor advises that the vessel is ready for the coming season and suitable for immediate use, with the sale arising due to unforeseen ill health. As such, this may represent an opportunity to acquire a well-equipped and recently upgraded yacht without the time and expense typically required to reach this level of preparation.
Viewings are recommended in order to fully appreciate the specification and condition. A good level of supporting detail has been provided by the owner, and further information is available on request.
