Construction

Construction GRP
Underwater profile wing keel
Finish Gelcoat finish

Built with a heavy wing keel the MG Spring is great for faster sailing whilst also giving a comfortable 27% B/D ratio. Whilst also having only a 1m draft at full load even some of the more shallower areas can be explored and beaching is a great option due to the flat bottom keel and dual rudders.

Broker's Comments

This MG Spring is a clean and comfortable boat boasting incredible sailing performance. MG Springs are very impressive performance cruisers making it the best of both worlds.
The Spring was popularised by the TV series 'Howard's Way', must have viewing for any sailor!

This example is a well tested boat having completed an around the UK trip. The owner, being a professional skipper, has equipped the boat well for long passages.

The accommodation below is great for its size; well laid out and very comfortable.

This is a great chance to get a solid sailing boat that will please those who like the racer edge as well as those wanting a simple and forgiving cruiser.
