The Neptunian 33 is a substantial long-keel centre cockpit ketch motorsailer designed by Alan Buchanan and built by Johnson & Jago. Linden offers six berths in three cabins, with separate forward and aft sleeping accommodation, two heads compartments and a sheltered wheelhouse/cockpit. She is powered by a Beta 50hp diesel engine with shaft drive. Linden has been in her current ownership for approximately 20 years and has cruised the Suffolk and Essex coasts. She is now offered as a project boat requiring refurbishment and updating, but provides an interesting opportunity for someone looking for a traditional, solidly proportioned ketch motorsailer.
