Owners Comments
"Speedwell" was purchased by her present owner in 2014, he changed the name from "Comino 4". She had a professional survey carried out at the time. Since then, she has been sailed to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, the West coast of Scotland, the Orkney Islands and the Outer Hebrides.
She has been equipped for serious cruising, including windvane self steering, upgraded winches, electric anchor windlass and a de-mountable inner forestay. A cockpit canopy was also added to increase the comfort when anchored.
