REMARKS

"Velocite" was purchased by her present owners in 2024, her third owners from new. She is a very late example of these high quality lifting keel yachts from GW Parker & Son. Her electric lift keel is easy to operate, she has good sails and her interior is nicely laid out and well fitted. A really lovely boat, ideal for this coastline!
