OWNER COMMENT:

‘Under previous ownership Paramour completed a World Arc circumnavigation, for our 5 years of ownership we have kept closer to home and have found her just as happy completing complex pilotage in the inner sea lochs of the Highlands, or fighting currents between the Islands, as she was crossing oceans. She is a delight to sail, reliable at anchor and a wonderful home away from home. It is only our growing number of grandchildren that has persuaded us to give her up for a larger boat.’
