Description
OVERVIEW
BLITHE SPIRIT is a splendid and proven example of a popular model from this world renown builder. With a significant refit in the late '90's and many upgrades since then, she represents a rare opportunity to own a substantial and truly high quality cruising yacht at a modest price!
Those who are not acquainted with Camper & Nicholsons, are encouraged to familiarize themselves with their longstanding (since 1782!) reputation for stellar quality. Knowledgeable Americans have been known to describe Camper/Nich as the "Hinckley of the UK." Though people around the globe, with perhaps a more worldly perspective, are more likely to describe Hinckley as the "Camper/Nich of America!"
EQUIPMENT & SPECIFICATION HIGHLIGHTS
Navy blue awlgrip hull, 70 HP Ford Transit diesel ('97), Maxprop, SL electric windlass, Viking liferaft, dodger & bimini ('06), eight sails, Profurl headsail furling, Fancor mainsail furling, wind generator, SSB, Radar/plotter, autopilot, Heart inverter & monitor, Glacier Bay refrigeration, 4 burner propane stove, 2 heads w/shower, luxurious owner's stateroom.
