Owners Comments

"Sunset" was purchased by her present owner 13 years ago at Heybridge, where she has been based since new in 2002. She was supplied as a prototype hull number 1 by Grant & Livingston of Canvey Island in 2002, built to a very high standard, the owner has all the design drawings. We understand she was fitted out by the first owner in Heybridge Basin. She's been much enjoyed in current ownership and appears very well maintained (survey available shortly). She currently has a mooring along the canal bank at £307.06 a month, we would need to check if this is transferable.
