Hello Walter,

I currently have an L20 but was thinking of upgrading to a larger Leisure or similar boat. I may be going down to David Morris's yard this coming week and will have a look at 'Shadowfax'.

Mike

Are you selling your L20?
I'm also thinking about upgrading my L17 to a larger leisure

Hi Walter, yes I will be selling my L20. She is currently at the Royal Harwich YC on the hard. Goes back in April 11th. Maybe we should chat?
