Owners Comments
"Ella" was purchased by her present owner from Bistrol in late 2018. She was then sailed to the East Coast, based on the River Blackwater, Canvey Island and presently Tollesbury Saltings. We have a good history of her use back to new, she was originally based in Norfolk. Her present owner lived aboard for a time. She's make a great offshore cruising catamaran too!
