Broker's Comments

Boatshed Wales is pleased to present this exceptional Sadler 290 for sale.

This twin keel version is perfect for UK coastal cruising or longer passages. The twin keels offer versatility, allowing stays in drying harbours or berthing on moorings that dry at low tide.

Powered by a Yanmar 3YM30 engine with a three-blade folding propeller via saildrive, the engine has been conscientiously maintained with regular annual servicing by main dealers.

Inside, the yacht feels spacious and bright. The woodwork, trim, flooring, and headlining are all in excellent condition. The well-equipped galley is thoughtfully positioned, providing a safe cooking area while underway.

The heads feature a sea toilet (newly installed in 2018), sink, extendable shower, mirror, storage, and a hatch for ventilation. In March 2020, a Vetus holding tank was installed, complete with plumbing and an electric discharge pump.

Accommodation includes a V-berth forward and a large aft berth, both in private cabins with doors. The saloon offers ample seating and a large central folding table, while the starboard navigation station is equipped with a control panel, VHF DSC radio, and GPS/chart plotter.

The presentation reflects the current owners' dedication and care. The boat is spotless, with no signs of dirt, dampness, or grime anywhere.

This beautifully maintained Sadler 290 is highly recommended for viewing, and we welcome all enquiries.
