REMARKS
"Balki" was purchased by her present owners in 2014, a professional survey was carried out at the time. She was very sound but needed a full refurbishment. Her owners have gradually upgraded and improved her whilst sailing her every Summer, including the fitting of a new engine, full re-paint, new upholstery, fitting heating, changing the standing rigging and much more. She looks like an excellent example.
