REMARKS
"Salicet" was purchased by her present owner in 2013. During the early years of his ownership, she was sailed mainly on the East Coast rivers with trips to Ostend once a year. Her owner sailed her to Southern Ireland around 4 years ago , where he was born, sailing from Brightlingfsea to the Shannon on the West Coast and keeping her there for some years, sailing back in 2025. He describes her as a beautiful boat to sail, safe and comfortable in all conditions.
