Lidgard 41 (1980) 

Lidgard 41 (1980) - Sold +++ Griekenland 

Impetuous is a boat designed by John Lidgard and built by him in 1980. Owned by the same owners for over 30 years and is being sold in Greece on a free mooring on the pittoresque island of Chios in the Cyclades. Impetuous is held in very high regard, she is a very safe craft being sold with much regret.

​

As with many boats, she has been kept up. The list of refits and improvements is long: recent sails and rigging, a new special sailing dinghy, batteries are fairly new and they also replaced the engine. There is a spare for nearly everything, including two electronic steering gears, and a hydrovane. There are two high wattage inverters which can run electric tools.  Two ham radios. Two VHF sets. Loads of tools of outstanding quality. A Lifeboat that can carry a sail, also act as a ship to shore transport. A Thousand dollar wi-fi system which if you like Classical music, is outstanding. 

​

The quality of the work inside is John Lidgards best. All the sails are very good, most made in New Zealand. The Boat is very quick and stays upright with a 50% Ballast ratio.

Comments Broker: A very special, fully equiped living-on-board vessel. Ready for a next world tour.
