Lochsong has been upgraded and maintained meticulously since new and is one of the best examples that we have seen for a long time. Highlights include 2014 Beta 25 engine, Raymarine navigation equipment (mainly 2026), upgrades to the rigging, complete electrical re-wire and much more. This one is likely to sell fast.
