Frances 26, Shebeca, is For Sale: further reduced

Simon Fayers, a member of our association since 2002, is putting his Frances 26, Shebeca on the market. He is only the second owner of the yacht since new. She is advertised through Boat Shed and the Barbican Yacht Agency with a reduced asking price of £20,950. However, Simon would be prepared to accept a sensible offer below that figure if selling direct to an association member or potential member. An Association Member might be able to buy SHEBECA for as little as £18,950 provided they deal only with Simon Fayers and do not involve the brokers in any way. Although Shebeca has just been lifted out of the water for the winter, Simon is willing to deliver her by sea to any South or East Coast harbour once a deal is done or organise transport by lorry, when the costs would be borne by the purchaser.

If anyone would like to strike a private deal with Simon then they should contact him by e-mail at s.fayers1@btinternet.com and not contact or register with either of the brokerages mentioned above.
