The Cobra 1050 is an honest, robust and highly capable British built cruiser, known for exceptional interior volume and stiff heavy weather handling. Under Supermac?s current tenure she has been well maintained, including engine water pump overhauled 2026, electric fuel pump (new 2024), cutlass bearing (new 2025), and propellor (new 2026). She has travelled extensively around the Greek Coast and sailed by the published author Rod Heikell who mentioned her in his book ?Greek Waters Pilot?. She returned to local waters in 1990 and was purchased by her current owners in 2006. If you are in the market for a proven boat that you could modernise for yourself, she has potential.
