This Jaguar 27 has a white GRP hull with separate deck and cockpit mouldings, with a fin keel . Deep self draining cockpit that offers shelter from the elements and ideal for families with small children and can accommodate 6 adults with ease and is comfortable due to the angled coamings that double as back rests.

This yacht was last out of the water in in 2021 when she was antifouled, anodes changed and hull polished. The owner is selling as he is buying a larger yacht.
